Bandcamp has banned all music made with AI

19. Of course it can be copyrighted.

Now, if you are saying that Spotify is creating AI content themselves, then they could be the copyright holder.

If you use Suno for free, you agree that Suno has the copyright. But if you pay the Suno subscription, Suno grants the copyright to you.

Any copyright can be challenged as being a ripoff of prior art. That doesn't change with AI. But the kind of pap that is produced by Suno is so much like all the rest of the mindless pap that was ripped off from prior generations of musicians, it is pretty tough to win these infringement cases.

It can actually be argued that technologies like Suno can include guard rails that ensure their ripoffs pass legal muster. In other words, Suno may actually be less of a ripoff than what human artists have been doing to each other basically forever. Bach "borrowed" heavily from Vivaldi and others. And countless successors tried to capture that perfect Bach fugue style. Nothing new here, except that it is a lot easier to steal music today when there are 3 chords and the "melodies" are mostly just diatonic meanderings on the same 4 notes without any changes to key center or rhythmic interest.
