My Question or Issue
Yep, I'm dealing with the same trash. Currently almost all of my Release Radar tracks are AI generated trash by 'artists' with a handful of plays, followers and releases. Shouldn't be that hard to filter that out of the algorithm...
20 new tracks of the same stuff today. No bueno.😓
Another 19 tracks of the same, plus 3 repeats I had already "disliked" from previous weeks.
This is becoming boring now.
Exactly the same here! Since 3 or 4 weeks, my Release Radar (that I always used to loyally follow!) is infested by AI generated trash. Today it's 20 out of 30 tracks, meaning I only get to listen to 10 new tracks.
How on earth does this end up on Spotify?? Judging by the lack of response from Spotify personnel, I assume it's Spotify themselves doing this.
For me it is a reason to cancel my Spotify account and be very public about this on social media. This is bad for artists and record labels, after all!
Spotify, stop this!!!!!
For what it's worth, a lot of these tracks seem to have been removed from Spotify now. 👍
Same here. Started happening a month ago with a few entries, and now my Release Radar is almost 100% spam. My Discover Weekly is affected too.
These are the only reasons I use Spotify to be honest, so thinking of jumping ship.
I´m with you on this, it´s totally unacceptable, it hurts music fans and REAL artists as well, come on, Spotify, gives us something about this BS.
I don't like being lied to. The deceit is obvious.
"Live in concert". Right.
Glad to hear that I am not the only one! Those songs in my release reader also sound very similar!

I have exactly the same problem with my Discover Weekly and it's driving me crazy.
Out of the blue and without any change in my listening behavior, Spotify has been spamming my Discover Weekly playlist with AI-generated "music" for about 3 months now, which couldn't be further from the music stored in my playlists.
It's always the same pattern:
The Discover Weekly playlist contains almost exclusively 1 - 2 minute, monotonous, extremely generic tracks without any vocals, from "artists" whose accounts are a few days to a few weeks old. The "artists" have a few hundred monthly listeners, but some of the tracks have already been clicked on tens of thousands of times. Outside of Spotify and sometimes other streaming platforms, the "artists" don't exist. No social media. The internet doesn't know them.
Of course, I have already contacted support with my problem. Their core message was that they blamed me and that I should trust the "holy algorithm". The question of why Spotify suggests "AI-artists" instead of real artists and why the problem suddenly occurred were completely ignored.
I actually rule out the possibility that my account was hacked or used by a third party, as I could have seen that from the listening history. In addition, only Shazam is linked to the app.
It seems pretty clear to me that robot content creators are able to profit from this mechanism and cause the platform to take a dive. What isn't so clear is why spotify allow this to happen. In principle it should only be allowed if it makes them extra revenue but my understanding of their algos makes this unlikely in the extreme. What is likely is that it pees off loyal customers by reducing the follow-up play system to an annoying source of garbage sounds.
What has Spotify done about this since? I am still experiencing this issue with my Discover and radio recommendations being full of AI-generated spam tracks.
Same, it’s making it difficult to continue to enjoy using Spotify.
I like to check the Release Radar Playlist to see what new songs of my favorite genre are available. For some time now, this playlist has been flooded with "AI artists". I have no desire to listen to AI music and find this music a disgrace. How can I prevent AI music from being shown to me or getting into my playlist? If Spotify doesn't get this AI flood under control, I'll delete my account.
