> Turning this essay into a song in the style of 2000's Hip Hop? It used to be hard

Have you listened to the song he links? It's very convincing. If you were just casually listening to it in the grocery store, you wouldn't notice it was made by AI.

Very convincing indeed! I really want to know what AI made that, as I’m looking forward to creating personal/customized music in a similar way.

Author here: I used Suno. I've played around with music production using things like Ableton and Logic Pro and I was completely blown away by Suno. It's really so much fun.

Yeah it was Suno, it's in the MP3 metadata on https://www.praf.me/audio/used-to-be-hard.mp3 :

  "tags": {
    "title": "Kubernetes Roofspin",
    "artist": "prafff",
    "comment": "made with suno; created=2026-06-08T23:11:09.140Z; id=793ca281-38c3-4cfd-96d3-ad3e82a46157",
Accessed with:

  ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams used-to-be-hard.mp3
Full output here: https://gist.github.com/simonw/f4d82c38bad0879acfcf54bd8e61a... - turns out Suno embeds the lyrics in the metadata as well.
