    3. @milesvpApr 2026· in “Deezer says 44% of songs uploaded to its platform daily are AI-generated”

      Not sure what algorithm Deezer is using, but Benn Jordan is a fairly tech savvy musician who talks about ways to id AI generated music by looking for compression artifacts used by the training data. this video
