You no longer need a band, a studio, or even much musical knowledge. With an AI app like <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/computing\/artificial-intelligence\/what-is-suno-ai\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/computing\/artificial-intelligence\/what-is-suno-ai\">Suno<\/a>, a prompt, and a few clicks, you can now produce tracks that are good enough to pass as human work, at least to most ears.<\/p>\n<p>While AI music is everywhere in terms of uploads, it still barely registers when it comes to actual listening. Deezer says fully AI-generated tracks account for around 0.5% of total streams, suggesting listeners still gravitate towards music made by real artists, even if they can\u2019t always tell why.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-1ae4f4e6-e088-4c0f-8d92-f7d5ed710eaf\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"where-does-this-stop-3\">Where does this stop?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"d5b6bb25-15e3-43cb-a820-93264c13adb0\">That gap between volume and popularity hasn\u2019t stopped concern from spreading across the industry. In the same study, around 80% of people said AI-generated music should be clearly labelled on streaming platforms. Many also worried about the impact on artists\u2019 livelihoods, particularly when it comes to AI models being trained on copyrighted music without consent.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-hpY34NYeMYrFamRtwJeMne\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-hpY34NYeMYrFamRtwJeMne slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/report\/844454\/musicians-tired-of-ai-clones\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/report\/844454\/musicians-tired-of-ai-clones\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\">The Verge<\/a> spoke with multiple musicians, who all highlighted their fear of AI slop taking over the industry, with some calling the situation &#8220;Completely unacceptable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a growing feeling that AI tracks shouldn\u2019t be treated the same as human ones financially, with respondents saying payouts should be lower for fully-synthetic music.<\/p>\n<p>Deezer, for its part, says it\u2019s already rolling out tools to detect and tag AI-generated tracks, while filtering out fraudulent streaming activity linked to mass-produced songs. It\u2019s an early attempt to prevent platforms from being overwhelmed by content that\u2019s cheap to produce but difficult to police.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pt-3 pb-4 mb-4 border-solid border-y border-neutral-300\">\n<span class=\"font-article-heading block pb-3 !text-base font-bold uppercase sm:text-sm text-[#333]\"><br \/>\nYou may like<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Still, the bigger question remains unresolved. If most people can\u2019t hear the difference, does it even matter who or what made the music?<\/p>\n<p>For now, the industry is hurtling toward a future where AI music is no longer a novelty or a gimmick. It\u2019s just part of the background noise. And chances are, you\u2019ve already been listening to it without realizing.<\/p>\n<hr id=\"93eaefaf-60b6-47f8-b203-0ef245c94d4e\"\/>\n<p id=\"ebe557ef-8213-4fee-9349-c63b3dfc4935\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqKAgKIiJDQklTRXdnTWFnOEtEWFJsWTJoeVlXUmhjaTVqYjIwb0FBUAE?hl=en-GB&amp;gl=GB&amp;ceid=GB%3Aen\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqKAgKIiJDQklTRXdnTWFnOEtEWFJsWTJoeVlXUmhjaTVqYjIwb0FBUAE?hl=en-GB&amp;gl=GB&amp;ceid=GB%3Aen\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\"><em><strong>Follow TechRadar on Google News<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and<em> <\/em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=techradar.com\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=techradar.com\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\"><em><strong>add us as a preferred source<\/strong><\/em><\/a><em> to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
