Would You Listen to A.I. Music? Maybe You Already Do.
Music from artificial intelligence is proliferating across Spotify, Apple and other platforms, but it’s not always clear what you’re getting.
Have you ever heard a song that was created by artificial intelligence? If you were to hear A.I. music, would you recognize it as something made by a machine? Listen, for example, to this country song from Diane Butler.
A lot of A.I. music can sound vaguely familiar, like a song you think you know but can’t quite place, because the models that are often used to generate these tracks were trained on large libraries of existing hit songs . That is perhaps why songs like the one above have broken through and found a growing number of human fans.
On TikTok and Instagram, the Diane Butler song is marked as A.I. content. But when a friend texted the track to Emily Stamatis last month and she opened it on Apple Music and then on Spotify, there was no such indication on either app.
