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.

[DerKEKl]

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.

AI filter desperately needed. I want to only listen to music created by actual artists. I will look on how competitors deal with this

Discover Weekly was a differentiating feature. No one else had anything quite like it. It was valuable enough for me to overlook the fact that other platforms may treat artists more ethically, provide higher-quality streams, and/or integrate better with my tech.

Arguably, I should have given more thought to the ethics, but Discover Weekly led me to many new artists I wouldn't have discovered otherwise. I could (somewhat) justify the fact that, while they were getting paid more on other platforms, at least they were gaining a wider audience from Discover Weekly.

Now that Discover Weekly is getting corrupted with AI slop, the value of Discover Weekly is evaporating, and the ethical questions are getting worse. 1) Discover Weekly is no longer a valuable feature for me, since I abhor AI music, 2) real human artists are being supplanted by low-grade AI music sausage meat, and 3) I'm unwittingly giving revenue to AI "artists" I don't feel should be compensated at all.

"Clearer AI disclosures in the song credits, as well as stricter impersonation rules" is a quarter-measure AT BEST. If you have the data in the song credits, then you have enough data to build a switch for us to flip to turn off all this cynical, cash-grab AI music factory**bleep**. Burying this in the song credits accomplishes NOTHING.

There are plenty of free tools to use to migrate playlists between platforms. Nothing appears to tie me to Spotify any more.

I'm tired of skipping AI metal songs, they all sounds the same and have crazy amount of listeners, or anime music also flooded with AI trash. It is "Listenable" but nothing more, no soul music with trash sound

@spotify If you’re listening… This could be a crucial moment for you. If you’ve grown to big and to proud to listen to your listeners you might loose them. and THAT can hurt your revenue

@Geronimonl I can save you some time, Deezer is the only platform that has been actively addressing the issue of AI slop on their platform. They announced back in April that AI slop accounted for somewhere around 20,000 uploaded tracks per day, they quickly implemented a fix to flag, and remove from radio/recommended playlists, and demonetize 100% AI generated slop.

Used Deezer for a couple months now, was offered a 2 month trial, started paying last week, absolutely zero AI slop.

As I've suggested to others before, make a FREE (ad supported) account with Deezer, copy over all your playlists (semi-automate as part of the setup process), wait a few weeks, they'll up the premium membership from 1 month free to 2 months free. No risk, your playlists will still exist on Spotify if you change your mind.

(Not affiliated just a very happy user at finding a platform that appears to respect the users and artists).

Yeap, supporting this.

Yall should really look into what Spotify is doing & what the CEO is saying. Not to be cynical but everything happening is absolutely on purpose. Paying artists fraction of pennies for streams, ICE recruitment ads on the free version, inundating the app with ai (that Spotify is creating via 3rd parties so they can get away with not taking accountability), and so much more disgusting things from the CEO himself. Look into it if you’re still on the fence. They have NO REASON to stop ai music on the app unless they lose the majority of their listeners as a WHOLE (even the free version makes them money). It’s no coincidence that they’re having the first profitable year the same time they’re filling the service with ai slop at an exponential rate. All these comments are screaming at a wall. Spotify cares about appeasing its shareholders and making a profit for those at the top. Period. I don’t see them “fixing” this because to them, there’s nothing to fix. Everything is going to plan! I agree with others. Vote with your money. Go elsewhere. And maybe, just MAYBE they’ll be forced to respect their customers and artists (but I doubt it). Happy listening! I’m out. RIP Spotify. I’ve subscribed since the beginning and now I’m officially done.

I really want to discover new upcoming artists, not get trapped in a rabbit hole of identifying if the artist is underground or a freshly made AI copycat. The way the AI content has been recommended endlessly in my discover weekly playlist really makes me not use spotify anymore. Even if I block the AI profile, endless others keep getting recommended to me. Please let the user disable AI content. 

By the way, how to detect AI profiles:

- check the profile, if you see the profile picture and all the album covers AI generated, then that's a big sign

- if there is no description of the artist (most of them don't anyways)

- if the other social media are just reposts of the content without any other identifiable human content

- if their content is recent and frequent, starting from 2023 and specifically in 2025

- you can sometimes find featuring playlists that explicitly say it's a collection of AI "music"

I can't believe that these AI profiles can be verified artists, please mark them, Spotify.

I NEVER want to hear A.I. generated **bleep**. Not on my song radio and not in other playlists. Music is about people and human creativity. Not this generic slop that anyone can generate in mere seconds with no skill or dedication. It takes the ART out of ARTIST!!!

[Jaimegoesplaces]

I don’t want AI songs randomly added to my playlists via Smart Shuffle. This feature has introduced me to wonderful artists and I would like to keep it that way - living, breathing musicians and artists. Please offer an option that preserves the authenticity of my playlists. I would like to opt out of Spotify suggesting I listen to robot songs rather than have to ditch the platform altogether to maintain my musical hygiene.
