Spotify Battles AI Spam: 75 Million Robot Songs Booted!
In a heroic quest to save human jams, Spotify unleashed a mega spam filter to remove a staggering 75 million AI-generated spam tracks over the past year! Led by global head Charlie Hellman and marketing wizard Sam Duboff, Spotify is wrestling with AI tricksters flooding playlists with deepfake voices and suspiciously short tracks crafted to rake in royalty streams. Collaborating with music standard-setters DDEX, theyāre crafting a new metadata rulebook demanding full AI disclosure, yet no timeline promises have been given ā because honestly, who needs deadlines when yanking spam is this glamorous? Meanwhile, they firmly deny sneaky AI playlist favors despite rumors. Keep streaming your (hopefully) human tunes!

Spotifyās new anti-AI-music crusade booted 75 million auto-generated tracks, proving even robots canāt out-spam Spotifyās patience. Meanwhile, they swear no AI favorites on playlists, but how do we know the bots arenāt just charming us in binary?
Only Spotify could invent a spam apocalypse starring 'songs' under 30 seconds long trying to cash in on royalties. If 75 million spam tracks canāt kill music, maybe they can at least kill our patience.
Spotify promises to protect 'authentic artists' from AI with new rules while happily letting AI crash the party, just please label the turntables before the robot DJ gets suspicious.
