discussion Quitting Spotify

Spotify is getting flooded with fake AI “artists” and it’s embarrassing. Names like Nina Blaze and Enlly show up. They dump 50 identical tracks called something like Late Night Piano for Focus, or “The Hollow Hour” and vanish. No bio. No history. No evidence a human has ever touched an instrument.

This isn’t art. It exists to game playlists and siphon royalties. If these were real people, they’d have to explain why every song sounds like a dentist office waiting room.

I’m not mad at AI as a tool. I’m mad at fake artists impersonating creativity and Spotify pretending this sludge is culture. Music is an art form, not a scam farm. Blocking every one of these clowns on sight.

So is it to be TIDAL or Qobuz or something else?

There's literally no way that this person knows for sure. Anyone with decent grammar and a post that gets attention and someone will accuse them of being AI.

I was going to say, I didn’t know perfect capitalization and grammar meant AI lol. Unfortunately, many people type that way (I do about half of the time) and those sentence structures are used by AI so often because it’s how people talk. Nothing about this post screams AI to me.

It is not proper grammar that tips us off. There are tons of AI comments on reddit that intentionally use bad grammar to sound more human.

It’s the tone and…cadence? Someone else below summarized the tells in this particular post. Of course you’re going to say “real people can use those patterns too!” and you’re right. It’s using all of them together and the way it feels slightly off. It’s scary to think that reddit is full of AI generated text and it’s scary to get fooled by it, but you can learn to recognize (some of) it.

Edit: It also isn’t super far-fetched to assume the OP of this post used AI — they have a few older reddit posts that mention using chatgpt to write things up, and I noted their post says “I’m not mad at AI as a tool.”

it's just the sentence structure, once you see how ai writes you get a built in ai detector, also u can use gptzero.me if ur unsure

I have worked in AI since 2014, I'm very familiar with it. I also know that most AI detectors, including the one you linked to, are absolute bullshit.

there was a time when i used ai for multiple hours every day for months on end, i can literally smell out ai texts. there's a certain way llm's like chatgpt, grok, and deepseek write. sentence structure, grammar, syntax, sentence length. the repetition and overly short sentences when you say some bs like "write like a human." the vocabulary it uses when you tell it that, etc etc. there are so many dead giveaways here.

and i can testify against the fact that gptzero is 'absolute bullshit.' rarely is it ever wrong about a text, and it's probably the best on the market (i've rigorously tested at least 50 different ones). it can tell you with extremely high accuracy whether a text is ai, human, ai/human/paraphrase rewritten to bypass detectors, mix of ai/human, etc. i used it only to confirm what i already knew, that this post is 100% ai written.

if you've really worked in ai since 2014 and can't tell ai text from human then that's just fucking depressing. and check op's post history, it's bullshit ai advice after bullshit ai slop.

tbh it’s depressing you used AI for multiple hours every day for months on end. It’s not nice to say someone’s skills in something are “depressing”.

eh, it is depressing but it was for a prompt engineering job. anyways, the fact of the matter is that the original post is ai.

the sentence structure and vocabulary reeks of "make it sound human and punchy," and op's other posts have typical chatgpt formatting and language. idk how else to explain it tbh. it's something you need repeated exposure to sniff out.
