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.

Hey folks!

We're seeing your feedback and, in this regard, we'd like to share some more info on the matter 🙂

Spotify is introducing clearer AI disclosures in the song credits, as well as stricter impersonation rules!
These updates will help protect artists’ identities, ensure royalties are distributed fairly, and give you - the listeners - more transparency.

Note that AI disclosures do not affect how the music is treated for recommendations.
For more info in regard to these new introductions, see the Newsroom article here.

That's all for now, folks! Stay tuned for possible updates in the future.

I'm an unusual listener probably.  I've worked from home for almost three decades now and I start my work day by going out to a service (youtube music for many years) and creating a queue of every song added since the previous day. Then if I find one I like I add it to one or more playlists.

Recently I had been finding more songs, but a much lower percentage of them worth adding to a playlist. Then one day I was stoked to add a collaboration between Teddy Swims and Arianna Grande to my queue. It was truly underwhelming and when I checked into it I found it was AI. Then as I looked deeper I found about 25% of the music I was seeing each day was also AI and very mediocre. It was fine elevator music, but it wasn't going to give anyone goosebumps and I wasn't going to play it on repeat.

Youtube offered no way to filter or identify those songs so I thought I would come try Spotify. I found the same thing here.

I did discover two things by moving though.  In the last year I found one AI song that I truly liked. I wouldn't have found it, but it cropped up as AI to me when I was recreating playlists. Humans I would estimate one in a couple hundred are really good and AI one in a couple thousand.  The second thing I found is that Deezer is the only service that let's you control the AI flow.  I'm going to try them out, but until Spotify or Youtube provide some way to control AI in the music feeds they aren't getting money from me. I'd rather pay Amazon for specific songs.

Came here to say this! Some of the AI music is good. I've liked some songs and some AI artists, however I think there should be some way to filter AI music from Human made music. Perhaps a filter on playlists. Also I think that an AI tag should be added to all music that is made using AI or bands. This way it will be clear to listeners. Other platforms have AI tags that let you know what content is AI. 

I wonder if this is the last few years before AI overtakes in some capacity all of music at which point it will be impossible to distinguish how the song is made.

I went from 1 AI song in my Discover Weekly to ~5. I don't want any, they are stealing the work of other artists.

Fix this or face further boycott.

[Corvuus]

This is only getting worse, my discover weekly was one of my favourite playlists and I found so many artists and songs this way. Now it's full of AI trash, and you can tell it's AI from the get go. Bad mixing, awful album cover, that typical digitised voice and the "artist" has like 5 albums posted in a single year.

I get some people genuinely like it so it's never gonna truly go away but at least make it so we can block it completely from our accounts. It's ruining the experience...

@merido & Corvuus.

This is my very reason to why I've been pushing for a way to filter/block AI Slop music. Discover Weekly has always given me new artists I would never have found before but this past week I blocked nearly half of my list because they were AI accounts. Leaving with me around only 15-20 bands and almost all I already listen to. So its becoming pointless to even listen to the music.

Monday mornings when it's updated I go through the whole list first to remove the AI songs before I listen to the remaining, small group. It's disgusting. It all sounds the same, has the same voices and same hollow sound to the music not to mention almost all the time the lyrics make no sense at all.

This is a great idea, can we grow this into reducing fees too? It's just
gone up to $15 a month !! And the algorithm is worse I've ever experienced
it before.
#goodbyespotify, what date?
Demands:
1)Lower fees
2)Ban AI music

[AxMn]

Increased fees, of course, they have to pay for that new lossless music that maybe 1% of paid users will make use of some how. Time and resources well wasted that could have been addressing the real issues.

For me it was a couple weeks ago.

REMOVE FAKED MUSIC OR AI MUSIC OPTIONAL FOR SPOTIFY CONSUMERS. 

AI GENERATED SONGS ARE INSULTING TO LISTENERS ACTUAL MUSICIANS AND A TRAVESTY OF THE ART. 

[timberman2]

Spot on!

[iver-d]

Yes, please. Deezer is marking AI already. There is also a Chrome extension called Spot-if-AI. It helps, but I'd like it the app, as a start. Also the option to block 100% AI-generated sound.
