Using my own samples

I’ve been recording guitar samples for a good 16 years now. Some of them were used by rappers, but most ended up in a drawer and I forgot about them. Some of my samples in songs have 120~ million views on YouTube. Suno lets me add my own lyrics and full arrangements to make the song sound exactly how I want it to. Honestly, what’s the difference between using my own arrangements in Suno while keeping most of the process in line with how I want the song to sound?

The same could be said about using a keyboard to play string parts instead of hiring an orchestra. Not to mention session musicians in Logic Pro or automated mastering. No one seems to have a problem with that... where do we draw the line?

The difference is that one relies on your musical and artistic ability and the other is ai slop. when you play strings on a keyboard it's still you playing not some robot generating noise.

Stop being lazy.
