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.

Awesome ideas! Esspecially the point that Spotify could right now leverage and ride the AI wave.

Label & a filter I could activate.

For me it was a pain last friday. 10 AI songs/artists in my release radar. There was one song I couldn't play and I was wondering why. At first I thought that maybe already had been reported and taken down. But checking the artist page revealed the fact that I already had blocked the artists. So why the **bleep** did spotify put another song from the AI artists in my RR? In my case the algorithm seems to be messed up. (To be able to reset my taste profile or the algorithm might help...but well you can't even do that).

I didn't really have a problem with AI, it wasn't for me, until this one released this Friday because more than half of it is AI, and the they are spamming 7+ albums a year which isn't realistic for real artists to even compete with. This will lead to massive flooding of AI music and people will begin to turn away from Spotify if its left un-monitored. It is unavoidable, since the people behind the AI can just pick a genre themselves, and then make AI generated for every genre to just completely dominate the flow of new music to being AI.
I've turned away from Discover Weekly because it was flooded with AI, now I'm seeing the same with Release Radar which was my main source of new music and I've had Spotify as my only music source since 2010. The user experience will worsen until AI use becomes undetectable on Spotify, but by then people might just make their own music to listen to, instead of using Spotify as a platform. This is a serious issue for the business model of Spotify and they gotta make a decision.

I feel you. Longterm Spotify customer as well. Almost every friday evening was like: me & my Headphones, the couch and Spotify. Told my wife and child not to disturb me the next hour. It's been like this for years. filling my playlists, refining my taste, finding new gems. Loved it.

Last weekend happend what I thought was unthinkable...trying the competition now (three free month). Although in my opinion this issue affects the business as a whole and I am afraid sooner or later I'd face the same issue everywhere.

So comon Spotify wake and get ahead of the competion. It's not all just about "who has the most songs in the catalogue"! Quality in fact matters.

I am writing to express my significant concern about the increasing prevalence of AI-generated music in my recommendation queue. As a dedicated Spotify user, I've noticed a sharp decline in my listening experience due to the overwhelming presence of low-quality, AI-generated tracks that appear to be created solely to generate streaming revenue.
Every day, I find myself spending considerable time manually blocking various "artists" who are flooding the platform with AI-generated music. This not only disrupts my listening experience but also makes it increasingly difficult to discover genuine artists and their work.

I am an AI proponent and I very much want to know when an "artist" is AI. I don't care if a regular person uses AI to enhance their existing talent, but I want to know 100% that AS3ND is AI and I want the option not to block from my Release Radar. I'm now suspicious of every new artist that comes across my Spotify playlists and I'm not enjoying music as much. And I use AI every day.

It would just be nice to differentiate whit it becoming so advance

Stop the damn spam on the platform. Discover weekly/Release radar are close to useless at this rate with the bad AI spam coming to the platform

While at that, don't allow people to release spam under existing artists profile.

If this is not solved I will migrate to other platforms that actually care about their users experience.

"Spotify, for its part, has been open about its willingness to allow AI music on the platform. During a 2023 conference call, Daniel Ek noted that the boom in AI-generated content could be “great culturally” and allow Spotify to “grow engagement and revenue.”

[user-removed]

This might be a really good opportunity for the platform to not only be one of the first (if not, THE first) to give this kind of information about songs and show their overall advancement on music tagging, but also to take a stance about the overall spamming that's been happening to playlists for the past years, especially since 2020-2021.

I do wonder if this system itself would function by the use of IA-based flag or if this would require a human-based analyzing team.

@_Eisen_ sadly that "Don't play this artist" seems to be unavailable on desktop? But works fine on Mobil.
