The streaming platform Deezer has revealed a figure that reflects the magnitude of AI-generated music. Nearly 44% of tracks uploaded each day, about 75,000, are created with this technology. However, its real impact on listening is minimal, representing only between 1% and 3% of plays. In response, the company has taken concrete measures to manage this content.
The Filter That Excludes AI from Recommendation Algorithms 🤖
Deezer's technical response is based on a specialized filtering system. This identifier detects and tags AI-generated content, actively excluding it from its recommendation algorithms and automatic playlists. The platform states it does not monetize these songs and has stopped storing their high-resolution versions. Its CEO is calling for coordinated industry action to protect copyright and offer transparency to users.
Musical AI: An Army of Creators That No One Listens To 😅
The situation has a comical side. Imagine an army of machines working tirelessly, producing tens of thousands of songs daily, only for listeners to massively ignore them. It's like a musical spam factory that, luckily, fails to sneak into our playlists. Deezer's filter acts like that friend who, tactfully, steers us away from the annoying person at a party. Technology advances, but human taste, for now, resists.
