Ask HN: Avoiding AI slop in music services
I have been a user of Spotify since their early days. The "Release Radar" was the first thing I looked at on Friday mornings, and was a great way to keep up with favorited artists, and discover new related ones.
Today, it is full of AI generated trash. The trick I see is established artists used as the second in the list of collaborators, but in the first 5 seconds of a stream it is obvious this is false.
I suppose it's possible Spotify has a revenue driven interest to let this continue, given the number of articles I have seen about this trend. But when it comes to music, I am less inclined to be a community moderator of obvious spam. Allowing anyone to upload tracks under another band's name is a terrible idea.
My Spotify subscription won't be renewing in the next billing cycle, and in the meantime I'm looking into alternatives that provide a good, curated discovery feature.
