We’ve all seen a huge increase in fake music and fake musicians on all streaming platforms, from Spotify to Youtube. In most cases, it is not specified that it is AI content, so it’s up to the listener to figure it out. But most people are not figuring it out.

But take heart, help is on the way, according to Reuters News. There is an app called Deezer which will alert you to AI music:

June 11 (Reuters) – French music platform Deezer has launched a free online tool to detect AI-generated tracks in playlists, available to users of all major streaming ‌platforms, it said on Thursday.
The company is also licensing its AI-detection technology to the wider music industry.

– The free detector app allows users ⁠of around 20 of the most common streaming platforms to scan their playlists for synthetic music
– Company data shows that 43% of users joining Deezer from rival services already have AI-generated music in their playlists
– On its own platform, Deezer tags AI-generated songs and automatically removes them from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists
– Deezer receives nearly 75,000 AI-generated tracks daily, making up more than 44% of its new music ⁠delivery.
– A recent survey found that 80% of respondents ⁠wanted AI-generated music to be clearly labelled on streaming platforms
