A place to discuss and share anti-AI music resources. Especially focused on resources for blocking or identifying AI music.
When I’m discovering new music I usually take an artist I already like, find out who inspired them and who they inspired in turn, and branch out listening to those musicians. Rinse and repeat. I never really thought about it this way until seeing your post, but I’m kinda establishing a “chain of authenticity” with that strat, because what self respecting artist is going to claim an ai “artist” as inspiration?
this is a very good way, a chain, i will post it as a good practice.
This also gets you outside the trap of recommendation algorithms; AI before anyone called it AI.
Trying to identify AI music is a losing battle.
By that, I mean the approach is broken. If you’re listening on platforms that make posting spam profitable, then that platform is broken, and you need to get your music elsewhere. They’ve been broken, and toxic to artists; the ease of spam generation with AI just exacerbated the issue.
Hence I really like 0op’s approach and similar ones. Just get away from anything that’s going to serve you AI music, and seek it out instead.
you are right. New platforms must manual validate artists.
That’s not going to work either, as spammers can put more effort into validating themselves than small-time artists can.
I’m saying the whole premise of a “platform” is broken. Algorithms are busted. If you want to listen to “clean” music, you gotta go oldschool and seek out curators or recommendation chains.
sure, but i mean different class of platforms, where quantity of streams dont matter or pay, this break the concept, bots ans spammer will not care.

Critical thinking?
Like, that’s the only way to do it. Anyone trying to memorize tells will be fighting a never ending battle, you need general critical thinking to ID AI anywhere. And not everyone is going to be able to do that right away or without a lot of effort.
So your going to make way more progress trying to teach people critical thinking than a hyper specific use case.
True, lets teach us to be detectives to question, compare, seek context on every type of music fake content.
Gonna make a post about it, but in line with identifying, with people reporting on their own findings in places like NeoDB (ActivityPub-compatible!), it creates a knowledge database. A wiki could be good too (and iirc there are AP-compatible wiki projects too), but it takes way more effort.
Great! let me know
