Mark / Disable AI Generated Songs

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.

there's a difference between reference and taking pieces from thousands of
images AI is theft not because it uses the images but because it doesn't
credit the artists and doesn't compensate the artists for the works it's
using in a pretty clear commercial way with no way (as far as I'm currently
aware) to remove your works from an AI data base so I'ma stand by my point
that AI is theft

Do the right thing Spotify. You know what the right thing is. You just have to do it.

Spotify *can't* do the right thing, because that would completely undermine their business model, i.e., "Perfect Fit Content," human artists creating content specifically for the Spotify ecosystem, and, of course, AI-generated music.  The business model is predicated on *not* having to pay human artists, and so they "flood the zone" with garbage.  As long as people keep listening, it's all good.

@kenrocklepremier I won't end up paying spotify if they also flood me with AI.  This is the first month in the last 20 years that YouTube didn't get my $15 mostly so I could stream music.  When I log in to listen to new music I am looking for that new song that will knock my socks off and AI is never doing that. I'm willing to wade through mediocre human music that will have a chance of a gem, but AI music would be like buying a lottery ticket  that doesn't pay out.

2.nd post in May

3rd from july

 

from 5 of 30 Songs in my Weekly in Feb, to now 14 in my Weekly. funnily enough, 4 Songs were by a already blocked artist.

 

Blocked Artist show up? Of course they do. That feature doesnt work, same as the feature " dont like" in Daylist ( 50song, every 3h Playlist). It increases it.

 

Half of some Spotify created Playlist are already 30% grey´d out because of blocked artist. How does that make sense?

Why do you still show and suggest me people that i clearly dont like?

 

Instead of increasing Songs that i like, put in playlist, share with others for example via PM feature .. so songs that i like.. nope. 

 

And now the next so ironic Issue came around.

Lets take "Deeps" in my Case. Singer, have some liked songs of him. So i know that Artist.

In my "Release Radar" i also had a "Deeps" .. not the one with 750k listeners, but a "Deeps" with 20 listeners. 

How is Spotify not be able to even sort that out? i mean how can they suggest me a Fake Artist? 

 

Again, its so frustrating that its already be 7 months and the issue got bigger and bigger.

- loved Playlists are ruined ( Weekly, Daylist, Release Radar)

- Features dont work ( "dont show Artist again" "hide this song")

- Positive Feedback nearly not noticeable ( shared, liked, playlist songs)

 

Like written in a Post before, the issue is .. once you liked one Song by accident or even because you kinda liked it .. you are ***.

Its like forcing your Users to like it by increasing the amount of Songs, so that there is a chance that they like it.

 

For me, i block every Artist by now where i think they are AI.

So sorry for them, but songs Spotify ignores this Issue .. and doesnt even Lable it .. Some real Artist will get ignored more cause of maybe a false "block" by me.. but hey, given Features dont work, so i cant really do anything else ( besides maybe leaving ... )

Did you also notice that it now says it will only block an artist for 30 days, rather than forever as it used to be and you'd assume it would.

 

If I don't like an "artist" (and I use that term very loosely for this AI slop), I NEVER  want to hear them again. Permanent blocks would be nice to have back.

 

Oh well, I left, I doubt I'll return, Deezer seems to be the only platform that cares enough to make an effort.
