Here are 3 ways to spot AI-generated music in Spotify, and where you can report it (www.techradar.com)

The rise of AI-generated music is making it challenging for listeners to differentiate between human-created and synthetic tracks on platforms like Spotify. Experts from the industry, including Dr. Nicolai Klemke and Philip Heusser, highlight three primary indicators to identify AI-generated music: unusual discography patterns, lack of social media presence, and recognizable 'generic' sounds. For instance, many AI artists, such as Sienna Rose, release a high volume of songs in short periods, often lacking the marketing and community engagement typical of human musicians. Furthermore, the sound quality can appear less nuanced, with repetitive patterns and softer instrument tones being common hallmarks of AI compositions. This issue is significant for the AI/ML community as it raises questions regarding authenticity, copyright, and the future landscape of music creation. The integration of advanced AI in music generation prompts a need for frameworks that can distinguish human artistry from algorithmic production. To combat the influx of AI-generated content, Spotify provides mechanisms for users to report potential AI music, although currently, users can only flag it under 'deceptive content.' As AI continues to evolve in creative fields, understanding these nuances becomes vital for both artists and listeners.
