In a move that shocked absolutely no one, Suno, the AI music company that's been making waves (pun intended) for all the wrong reasons, has acquired WavTool, a browser-based AI DAW. Because, apparently, the best way to fix your AI's inability to understand basic music theory is to throw more AI at the problem.

The acquisition comes hot on the heels of Suno's ongoing "creative differences" with music labels. These differences mainly revolve around Suno's innovative approach to copyright: "If we don't understand it, it's probably original."

WavTool, known for its "cutting-edge" technology that allows users to make music directly in their browser, will now be integrated into Suno's ecosystem. This means that soon, you too can create music that sounds like it was composed by a robot who's only ever heard a kazoo.

Industry experts are skeptical. "This is like combining two toasters to make a microwave," said one anonymous source. "Sure, they're both in the kitchen, but that doesn't mean they should work together."

Meanwhile, Suno's CEO released a statement saying, "We're excited to bring WavTool's technology into our fold. Together, we'll revolutionize the way people think about music—specifically, by making them think, 'Wow, this is really bad.'"

The legal battle with music labels continues, with Suno arguing that their AI-generated tunes are "transformative" works. The labels, on the other hand, are arguing that the only thing being transformed is their patience.

In related news, musicians everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief. "At least now we know our jobs are safe," said one guitarist. "Unless the AI learns how to hold a pick, we're probably good for another decade or two."
