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.

My subject says if all.  We know there is AI-generated content (I won't call it music) on Spotify, and I never want to hear it. A checkbox in my Account settings would be the best way to do that; a checkbox in each of my apps would work too.

I want to hear real music by real musician

There's AI-generated content on Spotify!? Then I want this too!

The current AI spam situation on my Discover Weekly playlist is desperate. It has been getting worse and worse  this year.
This week, of my 30 tracks, 8 were clearly AI generated. (song is between 1m50s and 3m, artist has one release, song titles are repetitive/very derivative, music itself is generic). That's over 25% junk!

Spotify needs a spam filter.

I see a lot of "remixes" that are probably not legit. Seems like AI generated. How can I block an "artist" permanently?

[DenverWoody]

I did not ask for an AI DJ, and I do not want an AI DJ. I suppose there might be people that feel differently, but based on the comments in all of the forums, I have read, this annoying digital nudge toward songs YOU want US to listen to is universally hated by your customers, the users who pay for this service. At the very, very least make this Feature something we can disable so that we do not see it, and it does not interrupt or interfere with our listening experience. Your developers are out of **bleep**ing control. It is clear that your customers want to be able to find new music, listen to their own playlists on shuffle without hearing songs on repeat, and do not want some robot DJ suggesting songs that are not interesting to them. LISTEN TO US OR YOU’LL LOSE MONEY AND MARKETSHARE You will lose customers, myself included, if you don’t make it easy for us to disable this feature and never see or hear this stupid **bleep**ing AI DJ ever again.

I only want to hear real human artists. No AI-generated music, ever.

With the rise of AI Technology, there are several artists appearing on Spotify that seem to be "AI Artists"

Typically these artists have the following features that give them away:

1. A very high output of music, normally starting in 2023. 

2. Nearly always remixes of popular Chart Tracks, normally done in whatever style the artist is. i.e. DnB

3. Generic AI Generated Album Artwork / Biography Pictures

Examples:

https://open.spotify.com/artist/1C0giDNDAD8nKcIrxoENuD?si=yVqqj5WoR_mPk1XwqaZLUQ

Currently, they are easy to spot, but in cases of Discover Weekly or generated playlists there is no option to remove or block these artists. As AI develops it may become impossible to distinguish between AI and Human. 

To combat this, I suggest:

1. Spotify requires artists to declare if the music is AI generated. (If they declare it isn't, but can be proven that it is, they should be removed and banned) - Including retrospective questioning for some suspicious-looking artists. 

2. Users have an option to hide / block / don't play AI generated music. 

As a personal opinion, the music produced by these bots is low quality, possibly infringes copyrights? and detracts generally from real artists who are out there producing good quality music.

I could not agree more with this idea, I don’t want this soulless AI stuff (I won’t call it music) anywhere near me

[OpenFist]

I agree with this wholeheartedly. In fact, I find AI-generated content to be offensive because it's been created by the theft of other peoples music and simply generated with prompts afterwards.

It's very clear that such "music" is only created in order to try to make money with it by targeting particular, popular franchises that they make music of.

It's theft, through and through and it should not be on Spotify. If you insist on keeping it on your platform then at least properly mark it for what it is and let everyone that wants to block AI music do so. It's vile and insulting.

I will never pay for Spotify if you keep allowing AI content.
