AI Songs on Radio - Have You Actually Heard Any and Did You Notice

[EthanHinds]

Following the BBC piece on whether AI-generated music should be played on radio, and Australia's new disclosure requirement taking effect in July, this is a practical thread: have you actually heard anything on the radio or streaming that turned out to be AI-generated? Did you notice before you were told?

Does the disclosure requirement change how you listen?

[RogueDepot]

Heard a track on a streaming playlist last month that sounded slightly off in a way I could not identify. Looked it up and it was flagged as AI-assisted. The slightly-off quality was real but I would not have known what caused it

[Tel92]

I think I would care less than I expect to. If I do not know and the music is good, what is actually different about my experience of it

[VoidSentinel74]

The disclosure requirement in Australia is the right move but enforcement is the issue. A station that does not want to disclose has to be caught doing it

[Leopard85]

The copyright training data question should bother people more than the disclosure question. If the AI was trained on artists who were not compensated, playing the output on radio is a downstream harm

[Velvet Connor]

There is a practical argument that AI-generated music indistinguishable from human music is already on streaming platforms in huge quantities and we have been consuming it for a year or more

[RightNutter82]

The Spotify and Universal licensed remix arrangement is the model that actually works long term. Two-lane system with defined royalty flows

[Anchor34]

I care about musicians being compensated fairly more than I care about whether specific music is AI-generated. Those are related issues but they are not the same issue
