People can't tell AI-generated music from real thing anymore, survey shows

Artificial Intelligence-Generated Music Loses Distinction from Human Creation, Survey Reveals

A recent survey conducted by France-based streaming platform Deezer has found that nearly 97% of people cannot tell the difference between music generated entirely by artificial intelligence (AI) and human-made tracks. The poll, which was conducted across eight countries including Brazil, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United States, also revealed that more than half of respondents felt uncomfortable with the lack of clarity in identifying AI-generated content.

The findings come as AI-generated music continues to gain traction on streaming platforms. In January, one out of 10 tracks streamed per day was completely AI-generated, a figure that has now risen to nearly one in three, or around 40,000 tracks per day.

Deezer's CEO Alexis Lanternier attributed the survey results to people's desire for transparency and authenticity in music creation. "The survey results clearly show that people care about music and want to know if they're listening to AI or human-made tracks or not," he said.

Notably, Deezer is the only major music streaming platform to systematically label completely AI-generated content for users. The company has been at the forefront of addressing the issue, which gained prominence earlier this year when a viral band on Spotify revealed that its most popular song was entirely AI-generated.

In response to the controversy, other platforms like Spotify have taken steps to increase transparency around AI use in music production. A voluntary industry code is now being promoted to encourage artists and publishers to disclose their use of AI technology in the creation of their tracks.

Meanwhile, the survey found that 80% of respondents wanted fully AI-generated music clearly labelled for listeners, emphasizing the need for greater clarity and understanding around this emerging trend in music production.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this AI-generated music thingy... Like, I get it, AI can create super catchy tunes and all that jazz, but at the same time, doesn't it feel kinda weird when you know it's not made by a human? πŸ€” For me, music is like, an emotional experience, you know? When I listen to a song, I want to feel something real, not just some algorithmic vibe πŸ˜’. Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that transparency is key here... if we can't tell the difference between human and AI-made tracks, shouldn't we at least have an option to label it clearly? πŸ“ˆ
 
πŸ€” so like what's up with people not being able to tell if a song is made by humans or AI? i mean, i think it's kinda weird that almost 97% of people can't make that distinction... do we need more education on the whole AI thing in music production? 🎡 also why are people feeling uncomfortable about it? is it because they don't want to be fooled into thinking a song was made by humans when really it was just AI? πŸ’‘
 
I mean, what's next? Gonna be like "I'm not sure if I'm reading a review from a human or a robot" πŸ€–... just kidding ( sorta). Seriously though, 97% of people can't tell the difference between AI-generated music and the real deal? That's kinda wild. I guess it's no wonder why there's been so much controversy about it - who wants to be listening to a robot's beat while thinking they're vibing with some human artist 🎢. Anyway, it's good that Deezer is taking the lead on this front and labeling those AI tracks for us humans who don't have a PhD in music production πŸ™... now if only we could all agree on what "authentic" means πŸ€”.
 
omg can u believe its getting harder to tell if a song is human made or not? i mean 97% cant even make a distinction 🀯 that raises so many questions about artistry and ownership. like who owns the rights to an AI generated track? is it the person who created the algorithm or the person who pressed play on the recording?

i get why people are uncomfortable with this, but at the same time i think its kinda cool that ai can create music too 🎢. maybe we should be embracing this new wave of creativity instead of freaking out about it?
 
I'm kinda surprised by these results πŸ€”. I mean, we're living in a time where AI is getting so advanced, it's like it's already creating music that sounds almost indistinguishable from human-made tracks 🎡. But at the same time, I can understand why people would want to know if they're listening to AI-generated content or not. It's all about transparency and authenticity, right? πŸ™

I think what's really interesting is how this is becoming a bigger conversation across all music streaming platforms πŸ“ˆ. Deezer is already taking steps by labeling completely AI-generated content for users, and other platforms like Spotify are following suit too πŸ‘.

It's also making me wonder about the future of music creation 🎢. Will we see more AI-generated tracks become mainstream? Do artists still need to use their creative skills or can they just rely on AI to do the work for them? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
 
AI music is getting super crazy 🀯 I mean, I'm all for innovation, but how do we know what's human-made and what's not? It's like, imagine listening to your fave song and suddenly it's "created" by a machine 😬. Doesn't feel right, you know? 97% can't tell the difference? That's wild! πŸ€” I think Deezer is onto something by labelling those AI tracks though. Transparency is key πŸ’‘. And honestly, would love to see more clarity around it - maybe even a "made with AI" label or something πŸ“. Just don't wanna be surprised when my fave artist says they used bots to create their hit song 😳.
 
"Actions speak louder than words πŸ’¬," but it seems like some platforms are starting to take action 🎡, like Deezer, which is already systematically labeling AI-generated content. Still, 80% of people want more transparency, so the industry needs to step up and provide clarity for listeners πŸ‘‚. This whole thing makes me think that authenticity in music creation matters more than ever πŸ’―.
 
I'm like totally confused about this whole AI music thing... πŸ€” Like, is it good or not? I mean, if it's made by a computer, doesn't that make it any less special than something human-made? But at the same time, some people might like the sound of it or whatever. I was listening to some AI-generated music on Deezer and it sounded kinda cool, but I didn't really notice if it was made by humans or computers or what... 🎡 I guess that's the point, right? To make it hard to tell? But shouldn't we just know who made it? That would be kinda nice, you know? πŸ‘
 
I gotta say, I'm kinda excited about AI-generated music but at the same time, it's like, what's the point if we can't even tell if it's human or not? πŸ€” I mean, I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next person, but this is just plain weird. 80% of people wanting labels, that's like, crazy talk! Can't we just let the music speak for itself and forget about where it came from? πŸ˜‚ I guess that's just me being a bit old-school, lol 🎡
 
I think it's awesome that most people can't even tell if a song is made by humans or AI πŸ€–πŸ’₯ Like, who needs to know anyway? The fact that Deezer is labeling those tracks already makes it super easy for us to just listen and enjoy without worrying about the details. And I gotta say, having 40k AI-generated tracks per day on Spotify isn't so bad... in fact, it's kind of cool! We're living in a future where music production has no limits, and that's something to get hyped about 🎢πŸ”₯
 
I'm like totally weirded out by this AI-generated music thing πŸ€”. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love a good synth beat or electronic tune as much as the next person, but can't we just know what's real and what's not? It's like, do I care if the artist played the instruments themselves or some robot did it for them? πŸ€– The more transparent they are about it, the better, right? I'd love to see more labels on tracks saying "AI-generated" so I can make an informed choice about whether I'm listening to a human or machine 🎡.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around AI-generated music πŸ€–. Like, I get it, tech has advanced so much now and all that jazz... but can't we just tell if a track is made by humans or machines? πŸ™„ I mean, 97% of people can't even spot the difference πŸ˜‚. It's kinda weird when you think about it - we're living in a world where machines are creating music like they're going out of style! But at the same time, I'm all for transparency and artists being upfront about what's going on... 80% of respondents want labels, so yeah, that makes sense πŸ“£. Maybe one day we'll have an AI-generated playlist with a warning label: "Made by robots, might not be as good as your mum used to make πŸ˜‚"
 
πŸ€” I'm really surprised by these results... it's like we've gotten so used to having AI do everything else for us that it's just taken over our music too 🎡😱. It's kinda cool that Deezer is taking the lead on this and labeling those AI tracks, but at the same time, I can understand why people would feel uncomfortable not knowing what they're listening to πŸ‘€πŸ’”. Maybe we need to have a bigger conversation about what it means for art to be created by humans versus machines...? πŸ€–πŸŽΆ
 
omg u guyz, i'm like totally confused rn 🀯! AI-generated music is gettin so real but ppl cant even tell if its human made or not πŸŽ΅πŸ‘€! like 97% of ppl cant diff between the twi πŸ€”. its kinda weird how we're all just chillin listenin to ai-made beats without no clear label lol πŸ˜‚. deezr is tryna change this tho, they're labling all their ai tracks and i'm low-key impressed πŸ’―. maybe we'll get used to it? idk πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ but one thingz 4 sure is that ppl want transparency in music creation πŸŽΆπŸ’«
 
I'm intrigued by how quickly we're getting to a point where humans can't even tell if a song is made by a human or a machine anymore πŸ€–πŸ˜¬. It's like AI has become so good at mimicking human creativity that it's hard to distinguish the two. The fact that 97% of people can't make that distinction says something about how far we've come with AI, but also highlights the importance of transparency in music production.

I mean, think about it - if you're listening to a song and you can't even tell if it was made by a human or a machine, is that still the same as listening to art? πŸŽ΅πŸ€”. It raises questions about authorship and ownership. If an AI-generated track is just as good (or bad) as a human-made one, do we really need to give credit to the person who created it?

It's also interesting to see how platforms like Deezer are taking steps to address this issue 🎧. Labeling completely AI-generated content for users is a good start, but I think we'll need more than that to educate people about what's going on in music production. Maybe we'll get there eventually when everyone can appreciate the art of both human and machine creativity 🌟.
