however you might feel about AI generated media, flooding platforms with unlabeled slop is nothing but scammer behavior and we should take serious measures to disincentivize it for both the uploaders and service providers.

I do suspect we are in for a lot of verified-human platforms where your fee goes to supporting establishing an artist or author's humanity beyond a reasonable doubt.

Is it free to upload these files? Maybe a 1¢ fee would be enough to kill a majority of the spam.

Do any of the major streaming platforms have a stance against AI generated music?

No, not really. Spotify is trialling a voluntary “AI Credits” thing where people can highlight use of AI when they release music.

The problem is that subjective judgements by streaming platforms on where an AI line is drawn in music production is difficult.

If you human-write a song but use AI to produce a synth stem or bass stem and then mix it down and use AI mastering is that better or worse than if you use AI to help you write something but record with human musicians and a bit of AI assist?

And what if you use AI entirely to write and compose but use human performers to record?

And what if the AI is trained only on licensed content?

Effectively yes. There are plenty of music distributors that have “no fee” distribution where they simply take a percentage of any royalties.

I suspect we are going to see that model quickly go out of favour though.

What does human verification look like when you grant that it’s impossible to tell?

Not sure what algorithm Deezer is using, but Benn Jordan is a fairly tech savvy musician who talks about ways to id AI generated music by looking for compression artifacts used by the training data.
