This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I can't imagine anything more offensive to even an amateur music listener, than realizing they have a half dozen AI-generated songs on a playlist that they curated.
What a potent little tool.
What a way to create a lifelong hater of a competing service. Frankly, at this point, companies like Spotify deserve it.
Imagine being a professional music listener. That would be the life. Sure I'd have to write a ton, like every day, and go to a bunch of events with record execs probably. Still sounds alright
A nice idea but could they tell me which song it is? I'm logged into my deezer account yet I have no idea how to pinpoint the song to delete it.
in other words they have backend tags for ai tracks that users can't see but you get stats on them still
Deezer is the one platform (to my knowledge) which has been very vocal about listing and suppressing AI tracks on its own platform.
Scanning your spotify library is a marketing stunt, obviously.
Meanwhile spotify is putting fake eminem songs on the new release friday playlist
Very nice that Deezer does that and makes it work on other platforms.
Worth noting:
according to Deezer themselves the largest shareholder is Access Industries. And according to OpenSecrets Access Industries has donated large sums to the Republican parties, the largest being in 2016 (Donald Trump's first term) and in 2024. Moreover, according to Vice in 2018, executives at Access Industries and billionaire Blavatnik (Access Industries founder) have ties with associates of Vladmiri Putin.
I moved from Deezer to Qobuz. Here's to hoping something doesn't come out about them too, so I dont have to completely abandon any convenient way to listen to music. I've been slowly building up a CD collection but Qobuz is great for finding music.
an investment company with ties to the government? shocking
You do what you want with your money, but selecting or not a service based on whether there's an investment company holding a significant share on it, that happens to donate 30% more to party X over Y is a weird argument. Dig enough and you'll run out of companies to buy things from.
Does this actually work though? Seems like it would have the same problems that the AI essay detectors have.
got 1%, but it doesn't show the tracks, so what's the point
