Mark / Disable AI Generated Songs

[DerKEKl]

The platform is increasingly flooded with AI-generated songs (especially the Release Radar), making it harder for users to discover authentic, human-created music. To improve the listening experience, Spotify should introduce a clear label for AI-generated songs and provide an option to filter them out entirely.

I want to be able to block AI generated songs on Spotify. I think listeners should be allowed to opt out of listening to AI generated music, especially paying listeners. I have tried to contact Spotify directly and I swear Trishia A. was a hallucinating bot, because when I tried to register my complaint, their response was "oh its frustrating when you can't log in" uuuuuuh, no that is not what I said in any part of my message. Long story short, I have less of an issue with hallucinating AI bot than listening to AI music on a service I pay for. If Spotify wants to lose a paying customer of 10years, they're on the fast track to do so.

These AI “artists” or “bands” are stealing from actual creators. At least disclose who is and isn’t using AI.

Rallying with everyone here. Having an AI toggle switch is a no brainer, I don't understand why it is not there already like with explicit songs. As users (especially premium) we should have the right to decide what we want to hear. Updating credits is like pretending you care but you actually do not. No one ever goes there and it would ruin the listening experience

Yes, this please. Searches have started returning some really sus albums, while somehow not returning songs produced by actual human musicians that I KNOW are in the Spotify catalog because they turn up just fine in a Google search (not even obscure tracks, in some cases). Search will become unusable if the songs people actually wrote and performed just end up getting crowded out by cash-grabby AI sludge. There should be labeling of AI generated tracks at the least, or better yet, an option to exclude them in our search results & recommendations.

I recently got duped buy an AI artist called Orion7 with a blues cover of an Eminem song. Spotify included the song in my release radar and initially I thought it was a great idea but immediately soured when I couldn't find any information about the artist. Found a reddit thread complaining about the same artist and someone posted a link to YouTube that showed the song was actually AI generated. I wholeheartedly agree. Ai music needs to be labeled and we need to have the ability to block it from our recommendations.

Recently got duped by Spotify recommendations with AI generated music by an AI artist called Orion7. I submitted the complaint formally to Spotify's chat and am posting to the community. 

I support real artist and have been a Spotify subscriber for a decade but this is the first time I am truly debating cancelling my subscription. I hate that I am being fed AI generated music in my recommendations without an easy way to identify that it is AI generated or the ability to filter out AI generated music entirely. 

Spotify should combat this immediately and should not be suggesting AI music to folks that don't want it.

Does anyone know if this idea has been resolved by Spotify? It's been less than a year, and this request has received 52 PAGES of comments supporting the idea to offer subscribers a clear path to remove AI music from their experience. Clearly, it's high time to give us the option.

I agree with many of the comments here that AI music is direct theft from humans by taking from people's music, and it's something no one has asked for — yet we're being forced to experience it without knowing! It's enough to make me (and by the looks of it, a lot of folks) seriously consider abandoning Spotify in favor of an app that gives us choice.

@halsom Why do you think it is theft?  I cannot get my head around the logic of this and it does seem to be a popular opinion. 

I am in this thread as also wanting to block AI music, but because it is mostly very mediocre, not because it is theft. All music is made from people that listened to other music and then combined what they learned into their own twist. If AI music is theft, I think all music is.

[kenrocklepremier]

Because if I as a bona fide human being base my work on someone's earlier work, I have to credit and compensate them, e.g., George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" relative to The Chiffons' "He's So Fine."  The difference is, AI credits no one, and compensates no one.

This issue WILL be what drives me to another platform if there isn’t a solution soon.
