Deezer is adding a switch that hides AI-made music from its listeners
Music streaming service Deezer says a new setting, due before the end of the year, will hide AI-generated songs, albums and related artists in search results.
TechCrunch reports that Deezer, a music streaming service, said on Tuesday it is building a switch that hides AI-generated music. When it is on, AI-made tracks, albums and related artists will not appear in search results.
Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier says users have asked for this. Deezer cites a survey from last year in which about 45% of its customers wanted a way to remove AI music. Deezer says AI tracks made up 10% of daily uploads when it added detection tools last year. In July, it said they were more than half.
Other services handle AI music differently. Bandcamp has banned it. Tidal stopped letting people who upload AI music earn money from it. Spotify only labels AI tracks and artists more clearly.
