The bit in the blog post about the amount of music uploaded yearly to Spotify was shocking.

I'm sure there's lots of unsigned self-published artists uploading their music in there, but so much of that has to be auto-generated and AI-generated slop.

There is. And most people would not even recognize a lot of AI music without multiple listens and digging through things like "is there any online presence (which can also be easily spoofed)".

I've fallen into the trap myself with some (pretty generic) blues music
