You may indeed have a different experience, but you also may not notice these things as it happens slowly over time, like the proverbial boiling frog. If you're younger it's likely you haven't noticed the patterns. I've been around for a while and notice these patterns from miles away.

I'm talking about my current experience, not the delta over time. I've been using Spotify since 2011.

If you're listening to new music, and recommendations, how do you know you've not heard at least some AI music? I only listen to one playlist on Apple Music (my weekly personalised New Music Mix) and I've had to report several AI tracks. They were easy to spot as they all used the trick of releasing under the same name as successful artists who are in-between release cycles. These scammers bank on fans clicking without thinking which is money in the bank for them. I'm also pretty best about reading the bio of every new artist I'm recommended.

There's one prolific ai musician producing logo beats (boring) and psychedelic ambient (pretty much random drones) that I just can't shake from my playlists as they release lots of stuff under several different names.
