Tackling Inconsistent Prohibited Language on Suno
Understanding the Problem
Suno AI’s language moderation can be quite unpredictable. Sometimes it flags seemingly harmless words like “blood” as inappropriate. Other times, it allows songs with explicit content without any issues. This inconsistency makes it hard for users to know what’s acceptable.
Example Issues
Here’s an example of a flagged lyric:
Lyrics: "blood pouring out my eyes"And another inexplicably accepted one:
Lyrics: "like a rain of never ending blood"Reason 1: Algorithm Updates
Some users noted that the issue seemed to start after a recent update.
”It MAY have something to do with the last update 🤔” ⏤ Shoddy_Specialist_27
Reason 2: Contextual Analysis
Suno’s AI possibly uses a scale to evaluate the obscenity level of lyrics. It might look at both specific words and overall themes. This leads to varied acceptance depending on the context.
”It works off context for the most part. It’s what you’re saying and how you say it. A murder of crows VS I’ll murder you, for example.” ⏤ Emotional-Relation
Suggested Solutions
Solution 1: Slightly Modify Words
Sometimes, simply altering the spelling of a word helps bypass the filter.
Original: "blood"Modified: "bl00d"”It’s weird because it’ll say prohibited but then I’ll add an extra letter to one of my intro filler words like ‘Hmmmmm’ and then it accepts it. 😅” ⏤ Siibur
Solution 2: Check Updates
If issues start occurring suddenly, it may be related to a recent update. Keeping track of updates can help identify why the AI behavior changed.
Solution 3: Try Different Phrasing
Using different words or phrases to convey the same message can sometimes help.
Original: "rip the heart from my chest"Modified: "tear my soul apart"Solution 4: Consult Support
If the problem persists, reaching out to Suno’s support can provide specific guidance on what is currently acceptable.
Additional Tips
Tip 1: Test Before Finalizing
Run multiple tests with slight variations to ensure that your lyrics are accepted.
Tip 2: Use NSFW Settings
Check if there are any settings related to explicit content that might influence the acceptance of your lyrics.
Tip 3: Know Your Account Type
Understand that free accounts may have stricter moderation compared to subscription accounts.
”Reason I ask, is maybe it’s more strict on ‘guest’/free users than it is subs?” ⏤ FrostFantasi
By understanding the nature of these restrictions and employing these strategies, you can better manage the inconsistencies in Suno AI’s language moderation and ensure a smoother song creation process.
