"Those royalties are going to the artists that listeners love, that they're listening to, artists that we all love, those verified artists, those human, authentic artists.

"When we look at the sort of entirely AI-generated music that people worry about, music that's industrially produced, less human input, we see [and] every other streaming service sees well under 1 per cent of consumption is going to those tracks.

"Listeners don't want it … and we're really seeing low consumption there.

"What we're hearing from fans and what we're seeing on our service is people want to listen to and are seeking out authentic human music."

Once again a huge company fucked up and apologises magnanimously after the fact while not even completely removing the offending item.

Personally, I'd like actual accountability not this sort of whitewashing.

Oh and btw their "fix" is "a new artist verification program which gives verified artists a green check mark". I wonder if that even helps or just makes life for artists even harder.

Obligatory:

Green check will be another $8 a month from artists probably
