Fordel StudiosSpotify tests new tool to stop AI slop from being attributed to real artists
What Happened
The idea behind the new tool is to give artists more control over which tracks are associated with their name on Spotify.
Our Take
This is damage control, not innovation. The volume of AI-generated tracks published under real artist names is genuinely out of hand.
It's good that Spotify's giving artists tools to fight back. But here's what bugs me: this shouldn't be a "test" — it should've shipped two years ago when the first wave of fake Drakes hit.
The real problem isn't attribution; it's the ratio of slop to signal on the platform getting worse by the week. One tool doesn't fix that.
Still necessary work, though.
What To Do
If you're running an artist account anywhere, start claiming and verifying your identity before fake versions do.
