Are you listening to bots? Survey shows AI music is virtually undetectable
A staggering 97% of listeners cannot distinguish between artificial intelligence-generated and human-composed songs.
The study found that 73% of respondents supported disclosure when AI-generated tracks are recommended, 45% sought filtering options, and 40% said they would skip AI-generated songs entirely. Around 71% expressed surprise at their inability to distinguish between human-made and synthetic tracks.

It was classical music.
And I found out it was pure AI. No one has put heart into it, no one had ever played that piano but it sounded good. I still feel conflicted.
