Yeah, I can see how that would feel jarring. Music discovery is supposed to feel like serendipity—stumbling across a track you didn’t know you needed—so when AI-generated filler creeps into that space, it can cheapen the experience.

Spotify hasn’t officially said they’re flooding “Discover Weekly” with AI songs, but there’s definitely been a surge of AI-produced music uploaded to streaming platforms in the past year. Since Spotify’s algorithms don’t always distinguish between human and synthetic content, it can end up mixing both in your recommendations. That’s especially noticeable in genres where production is relatively easy for AI to mimic (ambient, lo-fi, EDM, generic pop).

I think the larger unease you’re feeling—AI creeping into places where you expected human curation or artistry—is being shared by a lot of listeners. There’s a debate brewing about whether platforms should label AI music clearly, or even let users opt out of algorithmic recommendations that include it.

Do you want me to check what tools or tricks people are using to filter out AI-generated songs on Spotify (or elsewhere), so you can get back to the human-made discovery experience?

(Sorry, I couldn't help myself with this one. I'll see myself out now.)

Yes, you are being sarcastic and making fun, but I want it.
