Find an AI artist on Spotify, then check the “Fans Also Like” section. You’ll often find AI profile after AI profile. Many with millions of streams. It’s a rabbit hole.
Check any track. Is it AI?

This is a hobby project
I want to keep SlopTracker free and without ads, but the scans and hosting currently come out of my own pocket. If it's been useful, I'm grateful for any support. Even a coffee helps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AI-generated music on Spotify
A 2025 estimate found that 28% of new uploads on Spotify were AI-generated — by now the real number is likely even higher. SlopTracker identified dozens of confirmed AI artists in just one hour of searching. The true total across the platform is almost certainly in the tens of thousands.
Spotify uses a pro-rata model where all subscription revenue is pooled and divided by total streams. Every stream that goes to an AI-generated track takes money directly from real artists. The AI artists tracked here alone earn hundreds of thousands of dollars per month.
Look for these red flags: no songs before 2025, no social media presence or biography, AI-looking profile pictures, an unusually large catalog uploaded in a very short time, repetitive song titles, no live performances or interviews, and generic or formulaic music. SlopTracker helps you identify confirmed AI artists.
Currently, AI-generated music is allowed on most streaming platforms including Spotify. However, there are growing concerns about copyright (AI models trained on copyrighted music), transparency (listeners not knowing they're streaming AI), and the economic impact on real musicians.
As of now, Spotify does not consistently label AI-generated content. This means most listeners have no idea whether the artist they're streaming is a real person or an algorithm. SlopTracker exists to fill that transparency gap.
