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.

No effort has been made by Spotify to address this issue in the past 2 months, cancelled my paid membership today.

I'm agree. it sucks to listen ai generated music

@DASPRiD There is an unofficial linux version of Deezer that seems to work just like the original thing, so it's worth giving it a try, and importing songs from Spotify is done via a web client instead of the app

Now that I've cancelled my paid Spotify account, I'm off in search for a decent alternative... I have never used Deezer before, barely even heard of it until I started posting in these forums, but wow, what they're doing in response to the AI infiltration is just downright amazing.

April 2025: They revealed that AI Music represented nearly 18% of all uploads (~20,000 tracks of AI slop per-day). They immediately started removing fully AI generated content from their algorithmic recommendations.

June 2025: They started flagging albums with AI-generated tracks and detecting "stream manipulation" (AI Thumbprints) and excluding fully AI-generated tracks from royalty payments.

Is it perfect, probably not, but it's a huge step in the right direction. Either way, Spotify should be taking notes.

I really didn't want to leave Spotify after a decade of loyalty, but the last couple of months have been just disgusting with how many AI tracks kept squirming their way into my Weekly/Daily discovery playlists, and then started invading my personal ones through the shuffle feature that somehow kept turning on recommendations no matter how many times I disabled it.

I contacted support again today and they ensured that they'll post an official statement here. I also haven't seen AI slop in the past week or so in my discovery.

If this issue doesnt get taken seriously by Spotify, is just going to get worse, because not only is Spotify getting flooded with fake AI generated "Music/Artists", but the algorithm is also getting tricked to push ai generated music into Weekly Discovery Playlists and Radios. AI generated "artist" are using bots to rapidly inflate their growing rate of monthly listeners and streams. These bots also create their own playlists and add the ai generated songs. This makes the algorithm think "oh this artist is growing really fast and getting a lot of streams in a short period of time, they must be good" and proceed to push ai generated music into various playlists, which then get streamed by real people, pushing the music even more, converting this into a vicious cycle.

Real users and people that listen to playlists as background noise may not always be able to tell the difference and skip ai generated songs. But for people actively trying to discover genuine new music, AI generated songs just sound like what they are: soulless, repetitive and empty generated music.


All this is an issue that affects the platform in many ways, like:

• The music discovery experience gets ruined, because users have to actively navigate through tons of ai generated music to find real artists and real songs in spotify playlists
• Emerging new artists now struggle even more to get their music pushed by the algorithm, making the platform unactractive to promote their music and getting discovered
• And maybe the most scary and unfair effect: because ai generated "artist" are getting a decent amount of streams from listeners that dont get to skip their songs before the 0:30 mark, they are able to monetize their "music". So basically, Spotify is paying and rewarding ai generated "artists". These "artists" do not even care about making genuine good music. They just look for an easy and quick side hustle that is STILL unpatched, simply by uploading prompted generated mediocre "music". Quantity over quality.
  
  

If Spotify cares about their platform, their users, their artists and their whole community, they should really take this issue seriously.

So please, to everyone that reads this comment and care about this platform: Vote for this issue and make some noise. Lets get some traction to get Spotify to listen.


Example of an ai generated artists, that get promoted in Weekly or Monthly Discovery Playlists in the rock/metal scene (they are even VERIFIED by Spotify):

Wery well written. Now when you get suggestions in release radar or discover weekly you have to manually check every unknown track to find out if it´s a real artist or just a fake which is very timecosuming and takes the mind of from what you realy want to do listen to god music not shitty muzac. Why don´t spotify start a streaming service with just AI generated music so those who want it can emigrate to that. 

This is written by a real person so any misspelling is on me.

I've been using the AI DJ since it was release and honestly, I quite like the feature, but I have noticed more and more songs popping up for me that are 100% AI-only. Who wants to listen to AI generated music?! The industry needs to fight back against this or music as an art form is just dead.

[Dale83]

My "Release Radar" is no longer useful, let alone fun. Weeding through and trying to ensure I'm not listening to AI is a major pain. I'm seeing more and more songs with multiple "artists" now, sometime 5 or 6, and none of them are legit. AI music is a plague, please Spotify, give us tools to easily block/filter AI.

100// agree! Even more since Spotify raises again its charge for the family abo to outrageously 22€.

Where is the added value to the Service?
Its finally enough!!
