It's a nice thought, but it depends on people disclosing that they used AI.
They've created a monetary incentive for people to hide their use of AI. Sure, they may catch the people who use commercial services which watermark their output but music generation can be done on relatively inexpensive (compared to frontier LLMs) hardware and there is no way to automatically detect it.
It's a good thing that Tidal is doing, I'm just skeptical that it'll do much except to make people more creative about hiding it.
IMO one of the worse aspects of slop in the system is that one person can produce so much of it. One person uploading a ton of music without tagging it as AI will probably throw some internal flag in the system for review, so at minimum there will either be less mass-posted slop or it'll force people to upload from multiple accounts, which also has certain flags to look for.
