Goodbye, Slopify

Is the belief that these tracks are being generated and placed by Spotify themselves, or is it possible that third parties are uploading generated music? Are other streaming services liable to encounter the same issue?

I would wager it would be some third party since Spotify themself would not participate on their own platform (especially with ai slop)

Spotify have been shown to deliberately promote songs which they call Perfect Fit Content that cost them less in terms of royalties. This includes AI generated songs and you can find the same song under 50 different names according to this article: https://www.honest-broker.com/p/the-ugly-truth-about-spotify...

Was there some proof that PFC includes AI generated content? While it seems most likely true I'd like to see e.g. a quote from someone involved.
