A survey published last week suggested 97% of respondents could not spot an AI-generated song. But there are some telltale signs - if you know where to look.
Here’s a quick guide …
-
No live performances or social media presence
-
‘A mashup of rock hits in a blender’
A song with a formulaic feel - sweet but without much substance or emotional weight - can be a sign of AI, says the musician and technology speaker, as well as vocals that feel breathless.
- ‘AI hasn’t felt heartbreak yet’
“AI hasn’t felt heartbreak yet… It knows patterns,” he explains. “What makes music human is not just sound but the stories behind it.”
- Steps toward transparency
In January, the streaming platform Deezer launched an AI detection tool, followed this summer by a system which tags AI-generated music.
Yeah go ahead
You first
What, you not in the mood to dox yourself at my command today?
Just don’t want you to be jealous.
Does your husband know you just spent all night fantasizing about me?
I know you spent all night pretending to be a musician.
Oh you’re still going? Kinky. Develop the story a little more for me. What instrument do I play? Am I homeless?
I can go until you die. You don’t play an instrument. You assemble shitty edm with other peoples loops and you call it a “collaboration”
No silly, I hate computers for ruining music, remember? No wonder you like AI so much, neither you nor it is capable of continuity lmao
