Deezer’s new AI slop music scanner works on any music streaming site — here’s how to check your playlists (www.techradar.com)

Deezer has launched an AI music detector that scans playlists from any streaming service to determine the percentage of AI-generated music, enabling users to identify how much "AI slop" they listen to. This free tool, designed to appeal to both music enthusiasts and those wary of AI, allows users to quickly connect their accounts—though performance may vary by platform, as Apple Music users reported longer processing times. The detector serves as an intriguing response to Spotify's annual Wrapped campaign, aiming to generate buzz among users who want to show off their music-listening habits. The significance of this tool lies in its direct challenge to the growing presence of AI in music production and consumption. While it provides a quick snapshot of AI content in playlists, it leaves some unanswered questions—most notably, it doesn’t specify which tracks contribute to the detected AI percentage, making it difficult for users to pinpoint specific songs. This initiative reflects Deezer's commitment to promoting human-created music and could encourage users to migrate their playlists to the platform for better AI tracking and management of their music libraries.
