Wondering what’s coming next for AI?

Read my four predictions for 2024⁠

and what they mean for product managers—both for our roles and for the products we build.

I find it incredible how good AI has become at creating original music—which now is almost impossible to distinguish from “real” music. In May 2023, Google released the first version of

MusicFX⁠

, a music generator powered by their

MusicLM⁠

. I used it to create “a catchy pop song about Coda AI.” What it made was indeed catchy, but also a fairly generic song without any lyrics. Compare that to the result from another, newer model,

Suno⁠

: a Europop banger I can imagine dancing to in a club at 2am (before promptly realizing it’s about software).

Prompt: “A catchy pop song about Coda AI.”
