I'm about halfway through my Discover Weekly for this week, so far 3 songs are AI generated.

How can you tell when it's AI generated and when it's just.. mid?

I've replied to someone else with examples, but the artwork is a simple template, the songs are formless and they have no ending..

Have a listen if you are so inclined. Make sure to block the 'artist' afterwards.

Spotify is pushing AI music on its listeners so they dont have to pay real, living artists the royalties.
