YouTube Music users are furious about AI slop songs – and as a recording musician, I'm angry too

• YouTube Music users say AI slop is filling their feeds
• AI-generated fakes are a growing problem within music streaming
• AI can be a creative tool, but slop is just spam

YouTube Music subscribers are sending Google a clear message: stop the slop!

As spotted by Plunikaweb, the same AI slop that's been a problem on Spotify now appears to be affecting YouTube Music too, with people on the YouTubeMusic subreddit venting their frustration.

The conversation was started by user vlastawa, who wrote that on opening YouTube Music "six out of ten News recommendations were AI slop. The other day every other song in my auto-generated playlist was AI slop. Clicking 'I'm not interested' or thumbing them down makes no difference as it only applies to this specific song, not the 'artist'... dear Google, that's not what I'm paying for."
