The Sloppening
Spotify’s Attempt to Fight AI Slop Falls on Its Face
Too little, too late.

It’s been clear for a while that a deluge of AI slop is drowning out
real music and human artists on Spotify.
The platform has become overrun by bots and AI-spun trickery, which
have actively been scamming revenue from real bands.

The use of AI in the music industry has become a major point of
contention, especially when it comes to impersonation. We’ve seen
countless tracks featuring the cloned vocals of famous music artists
go viral online, a trend that has already resulted in prolonged legal
battles
-------------------------------

So AI can now produce music that is good enough to steal royalties
from human musicians.  (Even when insulted by calling it "AI slop").

They say that AI is not supposed to be able to produce music that
people like, because AI doesn't have emotions or understand human
experiences.

Really?
So I asked Gemini AI to research this.
The research report astounded me with its understanding of the problem.
I'll put the report in a follow-up post.
