AI-Made Music Floods Streaming Services but Few People Actually Listen

Deezer, a music streaming service, receives roughly 75,000 computer-generated songs each day—about 44% of all new uploads. Yet these AI-made tracks account for only 1-3% of what people actually listen to on the platform. Analysis: The gap reveals a pattern seen before on the internet: when automation makes content cheap to produce, some creators flood platforms with low-quality material for profit. Even tiny per-song payments add up when millions of AI tracks are uploaded, creating economic incentive for this practice despite detection systems meant to stop it.
