Option to Remove / Hide / Block AI Artists

[PaulHimself]

With the rise of AI Technology, there are several artists appearing on Spotify that seem to be "AI Artists"

Typically these artists have the following features that give them away:

1. A very high output of music, normally starting in 2023. 

2. Nearly always remixes of popular Chart Tracks, normally done in whatever style the artist is. i.e. DnB

3. Generic AI Generated Album Artwork / Biography Pictures

Examples: 

Currently, they are easy to spot, but in cases of Discover Weekly or generated playlists there is no option to remove or block these artists. As AI develops it may become impossible to distinguish between AI and Human. 

To combat this, I suggest:

1. Spotify requires artists to declare if the music is AI generated. (If they declare it isn't, but can be proven that it is, they should be removed and banned) - Including retrospective questioning for some suspicious-looking artists. 

2. Users have an option to hide / block / don't play AI generated music. 

As a personal opinion, the music produced by these bots is low quality, possibly infringes copyrights? and detracts generally from real artists who are out there producing good quality music.

I could not agree more with this idea, I don’t want this soulless AI stuff (I won’t call it music) anywhere near me

This really needs to be implemented, I am so sick and tired of listening to my discover weekly / release radar mixes and suddenly this awful AI noise comes up and ruins the entire experience. Nearly 25% of the lists are infested with this AI garbage and it is getting more and more.

AI music might be good for streamers who are worried about getting copy right infringement, but it would be great to have the option to block ai music.

Just like people have to opt in to hear explicit music AI slop/trash/garbage should also be opt in.

I absolutely support the need to BLOCK AI-generated "music". I've started getting suspicious, listening on my Discover Weekly playlist and hearing some bland inclusions that feel AI-generated. It's making me want to scrap Spotify and revisit my CD collection.

Similar idea but has less info, go give it a like too: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/I-want-a-checkbox-that-will-filter-out-ALL-AI-generated-...

I do not want  AI generated content in my Release Radar or other suggested playlists and I'd like to have a global setting to hide such content. Original art creators should be appreciated and get some kind of recompense for their work instead of being anonymously exploited

I agree, an AI music filter is a necessary. So far the one workaround if I stumble across one of these is the "Don't play this artist" option, but its reactionary instead of preventative.

If artists will not register themselves under the AI category, users should be able to report them for it.

I am an AI proponent and I very much want to know when an "artist" is AI. I don't care if a regular person uses AI to enhance their existing talent, but I want to know 100% that AS3ND is AI and I want the option not to block from my Release Radar. I'm now suspicious of every new artist that comes across my Spotify playlists and I'm not enjoying music as much. And I use AI every day.

@_Eisen_ sadly that "Don't play this artist" seems to be unavailable on desktop? But works fine on Mobil.
