People can’t tell AI-generated music from real thing anymore, survey shows
It’s become nearly impossible for people to tell the difference between music generated by artificial intelligence and that created by humans, according to a survey released Wednesday.
The polling firm Ipsos asked 9,000 people to listen to two clips of AI-generated music and one of human-made music in a survey conducted for France-based streaming platform Deezer.
“Ninety-seven percent could not distinguish between music entirely generated by AI and human-created music,” said Deezer in a statement.
The survey was conducted between October 6 and 10 in eight countries: Brazil, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands and the United States.
Deezer said more than half of the respondents felt uncomfortable at not being able to tell the difference.
Pollsters also asked broader questions about the impact of AI, with 51 percent saying the technology would lead to more low-quality music on streaming platforms and almost two-thirds believing it will lead to a loss of creativity.
“The survey results clearly show that people care about music and want to know if they’re listening to AI or human made tracks or not,” Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a statement.
Deezer said there’s not only been a surge in AI-generated content being uploaded to its platform, but it’s attracting listeners as well.
In January, one in 10 of the tracks streamed each day were completely AI-generated. Ten months later, that percentage has climbed to over one in three, or nearly 40,000 per day.
Eighty percent of survey respondents wanted fully AI-generated music clearly labelled for listeners.
Deezer is the only major music-streaming platform that systematically labels completely AI-generated content for users.
The issue gained prominence in June when a band called The Velvet Sundown suddenly went viral on Spotify and only confirmed the following month that it was in fact AI-generated content.
The AI group’s most popular song has been streamed more than three million times.
In response, Spotify said it would encourage artists and publishers to sign up to a voluntary industry code to disclose AI use in music production.

Actress Tori Spelling hospitalized after Southern California crash; authorities investigating cause
Actress Tori Spelling was involved in a two-car crash in southern Riverside County, about 80 miles from Los Angeles, on Thursday evening, her manager has confirmed with CBS LA.
It happened at around 5:45 p.m. local itme near the 28000 block of Rancho California Road in Temecula, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, who confirmed the incident based on reports from other news outlets. They said that deputies arrived and found both cars with collision damage.
Deputies said that all of the occupants of both vehicles were medically evaluated at the scene, but did not report any hospitalizations from the collision.
Spelling’s manager, however, said that she and four of her children were taken to the hospital in three separate ambulances for various injuries sustained in the crash.
“No arrests were made, and the cause of the collision remains under investigation,” Riverside County deputies said.
Spelling is most known for her roles in “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Scary Movie 2,” as well as “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood,” her reality television show with former husband Dean McDermott. Along with her extensive acting history, Spelling is also known for her six memoirs, one of which was a New York Times bestseller.
A Los Angeles native, Spelling is the daughter of former Hollywood producer Aaron Spelling and author Candy Spelling.
