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.

It's disgusting that Spotify promotes AI music and doesn't even give me an option to filter it out. I've had Spotify for 6+ years but I'm cancelling until they clean up the slop. ✌️

@AxMn So, if a human listened to music they didn't pay for and then made a song that song would be theft?  I think not. I think if a human stole paint and then painted a mural, the stealing of paint is a theft, the mural is not a theft.  

Apple and Meta have deep pockets and should certainly pay for the music, art, literature, or anything else that they use for training. That doesn't make the product of the training theft, and if it does then most human music and art is also theft.

It´s a bit different if you are inspired from other artists and then make your own without copying it or if you use AI which is´nt inspired by anything because it´s a machine just taking things others done and then makes something from your preferences in a computer program. Theft or not it´s a sad development in my opinion. And it disrespekt of the real artists out there.

@jonny99   It is so rare for me to hear new music and not go "That is a blend of X".  The Hu was probably the last time that happened. I do concur that AI isn't inspired, as that is a feeling. So yeah, if you are saying that it is theft if you don't have feelings that would make all AI music theft.  Probably still make a lot of human music theft too. Most of Aria Grande's music ( who I think is one of the most talented vocalists ever ) feels uninspired to me. 

We are drifting off the main topic though.  We can all agree that our feeds are getting filled with AI, which is mostly not very good (theft or not), and we want a way to get rid of it. 

On your inspired concept though, I have noted that if I am listening and think a song is pretty good then see it is AI it downgrades it for me. It makes me realize that some of the music connection is human emotion.

Absolutely essential to allow exclusion of AI music. 
Can’t find the vote button, but this is needed.

Humans take time to create music, they labour over it. AI will just generate an overwhelming volume in a short time that will largely destroy any possibility to find new, inspired music - or content in general.

AI content filtering is a must.

I get that this makes it harder on humans who will somehow get to prove they're, well, genuinely human.

And I get that a lot of swindlers and crooks will still generate music and offer it as their own and that, sadly, there is no other way than to figure it out and report them.

And I get that it is a whole new mess that you, Spotify, do not want to handle, but that's the way this world is now and we as consumers don't have ANY other way to sway you than with our money.

So please, labeling is a good first step, but we really need you to put a more robust solution in place.

@Dalberon A human doesn't replicate it at the cellular level, whether or not they are conscious of it their own style always sneaks in. But if say a human did make a perfect replica of an artists work or completely cloned their style claiming it as their own and making a profit, they would most likely be (and have been time and time again) sued into oblivion. Just look at the history of copyright claims against songs just having slightly similar riffs of lyrical patterns for that.

The fact of the matter is, not too long ago the police would smash down a grandmother's door because their grandkid downloaded the new snoop dawg album off Limewire. 1 track, or perhaps 1 album generated such a violent response from the authorities. Now you have these multinational AI companies doing it en masse over billions of stolen tracks to create their little **bleep** spawn, then every script kiddy goes and provides a little prompt, and it spits out something resembling music, making a profit from the stolen data at every step of the process. And the response... meh it's not hurting anyone... **bleep**... it's flooding the market with uninspired garbage and reducing the monetization available for real artists, within a few short years real artists will go the way of the dodo, and all that will remain will be pale imitations.

Theft is theft, profiting from theft is a crime, AI music is the result of criminal syndicates in action, period.

The use of stolen goods to create new goods is still a crime. If you melt down stolen Nazi gold and remint it, does it not still have the blood of 6 million+ dead souls on it?

Real music by real musicians only! Don’t just mark the AI - allow us to bypass it completely if we want to

[stawo]

AS many other said, the proposed improvements from Spotify are quite weak and do not solve what we are asking.

It's a shame that you allow AI slop farms to flood your platform with such content.

Add the filter to remove songs made with AI!

[jonny99]

When I wrote inspiration I ment all new music is somewhat inspired with what was made before. And then the artist added their own thoughts in their music that´s not theft. That is in my opinion development it could be good or bad depending on the result. 

AI will kill music

AI will kill literature

AI will kill art

And then it will kill us
