Hate AI songs? YouTube Music will now label tracks so you can avoid them
YouTube Music will finally tell you if you're listening to AI slop.
YouTube Music is set to introduce new labels for songs predominantly composed by artificial intelligence. These labels will be visible on the song player page, and tapping them will open a menu with additional details. This labeling system will also be extended to the main YouTube app. Currently, YouTube Music is testing a new album art design, which features a large background spanning the top third of the page, though this feature is only available to a limited number of users at present.
The primary focus of this update, however, is on transparency regarding AI-generated music. The company clarifies that only tracks "primarily" created using generative AI models will be labeled. This means that if an artist incorporates AI assistance for only parts of a song's composition or vocals, the track may not receive a label.
