About 18% of songs uploaded to Deezer are fully generated by AI, the French streaming platform said on Wednesday, underscoring the technology’s growing use amid copyright risks and concerns about fair payouts to artists.
Deezer said more than 20,000 AI-generated tracks are uploaded on its platform each day, which is nearly twice the number reported four months ago.
I’m mildly surprised that music of any kind is what’s getting uploaded to something called Deezer
Grifters pretending to be artists. Fucking disgusting
Its really depressing that this is happening everywhere. The one good thing the internet did was open up paths to people that were being gate-kept before it. Now it’s looking more and more like going back to gatekeeping is the only way any smallish company can stay in business. The scammers have always been there but now they can flood out authentic people without any effort on their part. Essentially allowing single bad actors to become the “Tyranny majority”
Well, look at it this way: streaming platforms were filled with worthless inauthentic slop well before “AI” generators got popular. It’s their business model.
look, that was actually funny. All the record company A&R men shitting themselves that, in straight-up A/B testing, they were failing to compete with muzak.
Yeah, to be honest I’ve always had a certain fascination and respect for musicians who put out reams and reams of facile music and counterfeit hits, usually relatively small artisanal operations. I collect some of the stuff. It’s really the streaming platforms I hate.
Is that a problem? Drake used AI to duo with Tupac in one of his songs, imo as long as it’s good music people will listen to it
Edit: I don’t mind the downvotes, but let the record show I don’t like Drake. But he has good songs, and if people like the music made with AI, I don’t see that being a problem
Having a dead celebrity who you’ve never met and was murdered when you were ten feature on your track is in very very bad taste actually.
Drake’s a culture vulture, he doesn’t understand taste
I’m going to take the fact that this was downvoted independently by all three site admins as sufficient reason to escort this commenter to the egress.
deezer seems to rightfully consider being flooded with lazy AI slop a problem:
Herault added that a detection tool launched in January was helping the company filter fully AI-generated tracks from the algorithmic recommendations for its 9.7 million subscribers.

this is something different from what the article’s talking about, but also that sounds tacky as fuck

Also he did it in his dumbshit feud with Kendrick Lamar - you know, the one which ended with Drake getting the ass-whooping of a fucking lifetime
