I only care about this if they also have the functionality to block them from being recommended in any algorithms, or better yet prevent anyone from listening to it at all

    or better yet prevent anyone from listening to it at all

    So you're advocating for top down control when it comes to consumption of online media?

    Avoiding ai content isn't exactly a choice I can make currently. On virtually every streaming app, if I use any kind of recommendation or auto play function, ai comes up. Because AI music creators tend to release literally thousands of songs vs human creators who release a handful, even if the algorithms are randomized between available options, it skews heavily towards ai content.

    So, yes, I want the owners of those platforms to remove the AI content altogether rather than just put a small icon in the corner of the song name or whatever.

    Letting users choose for themselves isn't exactly what is happening. Forced feeding of garbage would be more accurate.

    Giving users the option to hide AI content if they don't want to see it would be the sensible way to go. However, you advocating for something to be disabled for everyone just because you don't like it is forcibly pushing your ideology to others.

    I would be totally fine with that. I suppose you are right and that's a fair call out. I think I just don't personally know anyone who would volunteer to receive AI content on their algorithms if they had a choice.
