Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
A study by Deezer and Ipsos found that 97% of participants couldn't correctly identify all three AI-generated music tracks in a listening test, though the methodology counted anyone who missed even one track as failing. The article examines the implications of AI music detection challenges and suggests the results may not be as alarming as they initially appear.
