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

This has gotta be person-to-person, I recognize fucking every name even for the songs I don't know. I get like Michael Jackson and AC/DC, what are you listening that you get AI songs?

One of my main uses for spotify is to find new music so I listen to a lot of different genres, and a lot of artists that I've never heard before. Many of the artists aren't super popular or well known.

It becomes a lot easier to slip fake AI crap in if you aren't listening to classic rock songs that have been around for 50 years which you've heard 1000 times or the literal king of pop. (nothing against anything you listen to)
