A viral band on Spotify might be AI – however there isn’t a label that you could let you know

Ki -Slop songs are Spotify in flood -and the latest hit comes from an indie rock band called Velvet Sundown. The success of the track has intensified the ongoing debate about whether music streaming sites with AI-generated songs should mark or not.

The group attracted 474,341 monthly listeners to Spotify in less than a month. His upper track, “dust on the wind” – That sounds similar to the 1977 Kansas hit “Dust in the Wind” – played over 380,0006 times since its release on June 20.

The Sunddown of the velvet was first generated as potentially generated by von Ai generated by marked by Reddit userwho pointed out some suspicious characters.

A profile picture that looks like it is created by AI. A Instagram account Filled with pictures of band members who look strange. And a biography with an alleged quote from Advertising board The magazine says that her music like “The memory of something you have never lived sounds and how it somehow feels real” – a quote that has apparently never been published.

There are also no online traces of the members of the band, which are listed in their Spotify biography: “Singer and Mellotron magician Gabe Farrow, guitarist Lennie West, bassist synth alchemist Milo Rains and free-spiritual percussionist orion 'del Mar.”

However, there is nothing on the Spotify page of the Velvet Sundown to confirm that the band is a-generation. The tracks even appeared on the “Discover Weekly” shooter from Redditors, an in-app function that is recommended New songs for users.

The Sunddown Velvet is also available Apple music And Amazon music. The only big streaming location at which it is located marked As potentially AI generateEd is Deezer.

At the beginning of this month, Deezer was the first music streaming service to be marked with the marking of AI-generated content. His algorithm can identify artificially created songs that have been produced with several popular generative AI models, including Suno and Udio, which transform basic text demands into “music”.

Over 20,000 fully generated traces of floods daily Deezer. In April, bot-stained audio made 18% of the “total content of the entire uploaded content” out of fast twice as high as the 10% that the company shared in January.

Another popular band of the AI ​​generation is the devil dinner Last week tonight, With the title “Ai Slop”.

Teufel's top track, “Bones in the River”, has collected 1.6 million listeners on Spotify since its publication on May 16. Interestingly, the track has no creator on the “View Credits” tab.

On Deezer, however, the same song is identified as AI generated and László Tamási, a Hungarian musician who is known as the drummer of Honky Crew, an electrological band, is known. It represents a rare credit for an artist who is usually generated that typically remain anonymous. We have made Tamási for a comment and will update this piece if you answer.

Deezer is an outlier in his offensive for music with ai-generated music. Spotify has not yet launched an equivalent detector tool. There has also been no attempts to mark such content, at least not publicly. Other music streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Amazon Music and Tidal, have practically remained silent on this topic.

It may not be surprising that popular music -streaming platforms sit on the hands. There are currently no regulations on the flow of songs with AI-generated or a consensus about what makes it acceptable or not. Even Deezer is shared.

“AI is not inherently good or bad, but we believe that a responsible and transparent approach is the key to building trust with our users and the music industry, said Alexis Lanternier, CEO of Deezer.

“We are also clearly in our commitment to securing the rights of artists and songwriters at a time when the copyright law is questioned in favor of the training of AI models.”

Last year, a group of US record labels SUNO and UDIO sued, since they claimed a copyright infringement on a “massive scale”. However, the two companies claim that the training of their models in copyrighted music falls under “fair use”, a joint defense of AI companies.
