No, AI music isn't taking over the world, as new Qobuz data proves — in fact, barely anyone's listening to fake music (www.techradar.com)

French streaming service Qobuz has introduced a tagging system to identify AI-generated music, highlighting a growing backlash against such content in the industry. In a significant push against what they term "AI-slop," Qobuz revealed that only 0.38% of streams on their platform are from AI-generated tracks, with over a third of AI albums receiving no listens at all. This statistic challenges the narrative that AI music is surging in popularity and underscores a lingering skepticism toward AI’s role in music creation. Compared to other services like Spotify, which has partnered with Meta’s AI agent to enhance user engagement, Qobuz and other platforms such as Deezer and Tidal are taking a firmer stand against AI-generated music. For example, Tidal has implemented a no-royalty policy for AI tracks, while Qobuz’s anti-fraud measures have resulted in 60% of AI music being demonetized. This trend reveals a strong preference among listeners for authentic human-made music, and Qobuz's data serves as a reminder of the community's overall stance against AI in music—favoring genuine artistry over generated content.
