WEBVTT - AI Slop!

0:00:00.310 --> 0:00:04.690
<v Speaker 1>Spotify is trying to keep what it bluntly calls AI-generated

0:00:04.870 --> 0:00:07.620
<v Speaker 1>slop out of your playlist and says it's yanked more

0:00:07.660 --> 0:00:10.560
<v Speaker 1>than 50 million such tracks from recommendation feeds this year.

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>The company says it studied what users consistently skipped or

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:16.980
<v Speaker 1>ignored over six months and then matched that behavior with

0:00:17.060 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>metadata and third-party AI detection tools to tune its algorithm

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:25.150
<v Speaker 1>away from AI-generated content. Another 75 million tracks were pulled

0:00:25.430 --> 0:00:29.140
<v Speaker 1>from Spotify entirely after they were flagged as spam. Guaranteed

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.050
<v Speaker 1>human around here at iHeartRadio.

0:00:31.370 --> 0:00:33.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll have you know. Leading the way.

0:00:33.580 --> 0:00:37.790
<v Speaker 1>Because this kind of mental illness right here cannot be simulated.
