GoKawiilSpotify removes AI 'slop and spam' from recommendations but keeps it on platform
Spotify says it is filtering AI-generated 'slop and spam' tracks out of its recommendation system while continuing to host AI music and offer AI remixing tools. Fake or AI-suspected acts like The Velvet Sundown and Breaking Rust still have hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners, with a July report finding the top 10 AI artists earned roughly $2.4 million. Spotify does not offer users a way to block AI audio entirely, unlike Deezer, which plans a full opt-out filter by year's end, or Bandcamp and Tidal, which restrict or don't pay royalties on AI-only tracks.
