The AI songs do suck, but what's even worse is that I can't block artists on Spotify or YouTube. My only recourse was to down vote each song individually, which didn't prevent the songs from showing up, just "Showed my preference".
I don't know what service is safe, but it seems like the incentives for the companies is not to direct me to what I want, real people performing music.
I had no idea how bad it had gotten, since none of it was being shown to me. Then a friend sent me his AI music on Spotify, I listened, and my recommendations were all AI for my usual genres suddenly. It's like they have a flag for your account that says "we can save money, this guy will listen to the cheap stuff".
The same thing is happening on YouTube, my recs are stuffed full of obviously AI generated music compilations lately. It's obvious from the volume those channels are posting (often ~3 hours of "new" music every single day) that little to no curation is happening, it's just elemental slop straight from the firehose.
Agreed, on YouTube the AI slop music has been trending even more. I hadn't experienced it on Spotify however and only last month they had stated that AI music would be tagged as such.
My personal consumption of YT has dropped pretty sharply - I only go on there for specific content that I personally pick out myself. The recommendations have become really bad progressively IME over the past 2 years.
I've had so many AI-created movie trailers on youtube lately it is so annoying. Just yesterday I searched for an upcoming movie "The Chronology of Water" trailer and get this fake ai trailer which I watched unknowingly thinking "wow this trailer sucks" just to later find the disclaimer "Please note that this video is a concept trailer created solely for artistic and entertainment purposes. I have meticulously incorporated various effects, sound design, AI technologies, film analytics, and other elements to bring my vision to life."
Most people love making AI music by throwing a 5-word prompt at Suno and being in awe at "their" creation.
However, it is also a fact that the vast majority of people can't care less to listen to their friends' and family's Sunos, as they were not involved in the process and therefore can't vibe to the random soul-less soup.
To be honest I’ve been having the opposite experience. There are lots of cool niche playlists on YouTube that cater to specific ideas.
Like “40’s gangster jazz”, or “studying in the Hogwarts library”, etc
It’s the majority of what I listen to lately and it’s been pretty good.
On a related note, I was working with someone recently and he put on a jazz playlist he found on YouTube. We both enjoyed the music and neither of us realized it was AI until about halfway through the playlist.
I don’t think it’s a big deal that it’s AI, as long as you enjoy the music.
Spotify recommended me a song I kind of liked "What's the Matter with John Brown" by a band called The Roux and when I googled it to get more info about the band I found a thread on reddit /r/music discussing whether or not it was AI music.
I still haven't figured out if it's AI or not but there is no info about the band online, touring show details, photos etc, so I am leaning towards it is a fake AI band.
It would be nice if AI-music was watermarked in some way so we could filter it out.

Vote with your wallet.
Finamp and jellyfin, the PWA is also solid.

Please keep your slop for yourself.

But on Spotify when it gets shoved onto your playlists without warning..
I think I’ve heard one AI slop thing in my daily discovery queue, once.
It’s hard to say if that one track was ai slop or not, given my tastes (I downloaded Poppy, Music to Scream To, for example).

For audible (for now, until Audible kills it!) there is a chrome and firefox extension called "devirtualizer" that removes all AI-narrated books from your results: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/devirtualizeaudible...
