I have 4 or 5 music artist I follow on YouTube, at the moment. I don't hear much music. I wouldn't even know how to find a real human music artist between this AI. I'm an absolute music noob. You have my support and my solidarity!

I've encountered the same thing, it's depressing. At first I struggled to identify them too, its seems they try to obscure the fact it's AI generated. Thankfully the algorithm seems good at detecting then, I mark them as "not interested" and now I see them less and less. Wish I could outright report them tho

I saw your Short last week about AI hijacking your album launch, too. (But had that problem where I couldn't post a comment. Flipping tech.) With bots being a thing, I wonder if AI "viewers" are being used to massively boost AI content? Step 1: have AI churn out fake content Step 2: have AI boost fake content with fake viewers Step 3: profit In and of itself as an endeavor, I don't have anything against AI being cultivated as a partner to humanity. The problem (as with anything) is how it's used: in this case, humans not only edging out other humans, but selling out what makes us human.

When it's music on yt my rule of thumb is that if I don't know the channel and the date is within the last month, it's AI Also when googling generic information now, basically always add reddit to the search term and filter by ~4years ago or older

This is getting out of control. I go to my "Trending Videos" tab in youtube studio to see what is popular recently on a regular basis. Today I thought there might have been two non-ai (a record from 1974?, nope completely hallucinated by AI).
This is what is popular right now, and this even has survivorship bias where these are the ones that are successful. There's a firehose of AI music being generated and dumped on this site. I can't compete with this, and this is what people prefer to listen to and watch.
The unfortunate truth is that with AI sucking up all of the space, there's no room for small human artists like me to get impressions on this site anymore.
It's exhausting and terrible. Please, PLEASE support human artists, even if they aren't me. I know that anyone that sees this probably will vehemently agree, but TELL PEOPLE! The only way this dies is if people refuse to interact with it.
If human artists can't afford to make music, this is all there will be left in a few years.
