Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
Deezer has launched a free web-based tool that scans users' music playlists across streaming services to detect AI-generated tracks. The tool, which uses machine learning to analyze audio characteristics, aims to help listeners identify synthetic music in their libraries. In a test of a large Spotify playlist library, the tool found very few AI-generated songs, suggesting that AI music may not yet be as prevalent as some fear, or that detection methods are still evolving.
