    I can’t imagine anything more offensive to even an amateur music listener, than realizing they have a half dozen AI-generated songs on a playlist that they curated.

    What a potent little tool.

    What a way to create a lifelong hater of a competing service. Frankly, at this point, companies like Spotify deserve it.

      Imagine being a professional music listener. That would be the life. Sure I’d have to write a ton, like every day, and go to a bunch of events with record execs probably. Still sounds alright

    Very nice that Deezer does that and makes it work on other platforms.

    Worth noting:

    according to Deezer themselves the largest shareholder is Access Industries. And according to OpenSecrets Access Industries has donated large sums to the Republican parties, the largest being in 2016 (Donald Trump’s first term) and in 2024. Moreover, according to Vice in 2018, executives at Access Industries and billionaire Blavatnik (Access Industries founder) have ties with associates of Vladmiri Putin.

      I moved from Deezer to Qobuz. Here’s to hoping something doesn’t come out about them too, so I dont have to completely abandon any convenient way to listen to music. I’ve been slowly building up a CD collection but Qobuz is great for finding music.

    Does this actually work though? Seems like it would have the same problems that the AI essay detectors have.
