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 listen to a lot of instrumental music, and right now it's terrible. All suggestions are filled by AI shovelware music.

The biggest problem as far as for me is what the future will be. AI generated music is getting (better) or should i say worse because it´s harder to recognice what´s AI generated or not. And for now in spotify we have nothing but our ears to rely on.

I feel sorry for the artists that spent lots of time to learn how to play an instrument get a band together and make people to listen to their music. What will the future be like ? All music made by AI ? I´m happy to lived so many years that I have had the time and money to build a record collection with physical items that i can play when I feel to. I have nothing against Spotify I thought it was kind of a blessing when it was launched. It gave us millions of tracks to listen to jus by a click. But then there was real artists playing now you don´t know if its man made or AI generated.

Please Spotify add a similar mechanism to the Explicit tag on tracks.

So those of us who don't want AI spam can filter it out.

I'd recommend making artists self report the same as Explicit, but also have an appealable community reporting mechanism.

Spotify already has a real and perception problem with underpaying artists, and the inclusion of AI-generated content will only make it worse.  At the very least, flag AI-generated content, and allow users to filter it.

[Smiling_Jack]

This is an absolute must-have. It's already ruined Discovery Queue. Please:
1. CLEARLY label AI "artists", like the "E" for explicit content.

2. Allow the option to filter them out, again much like the "Explicit Content" toggle.

Fully AI auto-generated art should be thrown into the volcano. Whichever streaming service is the first to flag and/or block fully AI-generated music, I'll likely switch to it and stick with it.

Yet more AI **bleep** in Discover Weekly (The Smoothies anyone?). If Spotify won't allow AI content to be filtered out I will switch to Deezer, which does seem to take this issue seriously, see this latest news: https://www.musicweek.com/digital/read/deezer-launches-world-s-first-ai-tagging-system-for-music-str...

Apart from the music sounding bland, unexciting, and generic, how do we spot AI content while Spotify refuses to flag it?

- Artist photos: too smooth, nothing from live gigs, shiny fake 'perfection.' Some genuine great musicians are weird looking but not AI avatars!

- Artist profile: nothing about local music scene, no live gig dates posted, nothing about collaboration with other real artists.

- No concert footage on YouTube: any real artist will at least have some shaky phone videos from gigs.

'Verified' blues singer Etta Mae Hartwell is the first one I encountered on Spotify, and a perfect example of this fakery. 'It' even had music videos on YouTube, but they were also AI-generated.

[Left2Rightz]

Thanks to richietee, excited to hear that Deezer is going to include AI-detection tools. That profile of "The Smoothies" is really disgusting and is also marked by Spotify as a "Verified Artist". While there are currently ways we can spot fake fully generated artists & music, it's only going to get harder, and should not be rewarded, accepted or allowed.

i think my subject heading says enough about it.
