In the US, copyright laws protect material created by a human. Music made 100% with AI would not qualify for copyright protection because a human did not write the lyrics or the music. Writing the prompt does not constitute the creation of the song.

Trying to claim copyright on a song made 100% with AI is fraud. Legally fraud. It doesn't matter if no one later sues you, challenging your claim. It's still fraud.

That page on Suno's website makes it clear that they do not claim copyright and know that what is generated by AI can't be copyrighted.

See this page, since you don't understand copyright. Note there is an exception for what's called work for hire:
