Your [sic] DISGUSTING and there\u2019s NOTHING YOU COULD EVER SAY TO ME TO MAKE THIS OKAY,\u201d\u00a0she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stories\/sza\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wrote<\/a> on her main account. \u201cI hope u have the life u deserve.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SZA took specific aim at the AI music-making company Suno, writing in part,\u201dDo not give away your vibranium!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIonno who needs to hear this but diplo has equity in suno and is actively attempting to train it on the best and brightest black minds of writers and producers,\u201d she wrote. \u201cWe make up 13% of the American population yet influence the world w our sound and perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI AINT HEARD A WHITE AI SONG YET .. why so disproportinate? We have no protection in legislature medical or creative,\u201d she continued. \u201cThe easiest to steal from. DO NOT GIVE AWAY YOUR VIBRANIUM !!! DO NOT TRAIN AI WITH YOUR GENIUS. F\u2013k these weird a\u2013 vultures. I want smoke all summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A representative for Diplo did not immediately respond to TheWrap\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Last week Suno\u2019s chief product officer penned a defense of the AI music generator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Suno, preserving artistry and human creativity is just as important as product innovation itself. We know that\u2019s easy to be skeptical about \u2013 especially if you haven\u2019t actually immersed yourself in our product. But most of the people building Suno are musicians,\u201d Jack Brody <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/jack-brody-84936737_last-week-we-shared-that-were-now-testing-share-7470203285103104000-u6YQ\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_ios&amp;rcm=ACoAAACrZQYBFfT4WNfasSFCpyp6dGxsHUufJIU\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wrote on LinkedIn<\/a>. \u201cEmpowering human creativity is why we show up, not just some corporate positioning. We believe companies building AI have a responsibility to invest in safeguards with the same level of ambition and rigor that they bring to building products.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cFrom our earliest days, we worked to build protections directly into the foundation of our platform. That includes clear rules prohibiting users from uploading or distributing content they don\u2019t own or have the rights to use, meaningful enforcement when those rules are violated, and partnerships with industry-standard providers like Audible Magic, Musixmatch, and ACRCloud to help us identify and prevent misuse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the most common questions people ask about AI is whether models can reproduce material from their training data. Our answer is simple: no, that should not happen. Our philosophy has always been that AI should help people create new music, not replicate someone else\u2019s. That\u2019s why we built our models around what we call \u2018Original Creation, By Design,\u2019 training strategies intended to reduce the risk of generating unauthorized reproductions,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, we do not use artist names as a category of training metadata \u2013 meaning we made an intentional choice not to teach models artist names because our goal is to help people create brand new songs, not music that sounds like existing artists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a class=\"the-wrap-read-more__image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/sza-accuses-white-house-rage-baiting-artists-ice-videos\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-1405152830-e1706555055621.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Sza\"   data-portal-copyright=\"TheWrap\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SZA set a flamethrower to AI music and artists who use AI to create, claiming that producer Diplo&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":81111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[24,25,43925],"class_list":["post-81110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ai","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-sza"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
