Songlent Green – Detect AI-gen Music 100 pct Accurate
688k plays of a song that was actually created by AI (which scrapes most other songs) “earned” (in a fake way) an estimated $2k of royalties (so far) for the plAIgiarist, from the shared pool — this scam of the system directly swindles human artists and creators.
The plAIgiarim was unleashed, rewarded, growing —

Let’s just get this hard to digest fact out of the way first: Chances are that the vast majority of the time you cannot tell the difference between a lower quality MP3 and a lossless uncompressed wave file or CD.
Me personally on my finest monitors or headphones or amplifiers cannot reliably tell the difference between a 256 kilobit per second MP3 file or a lossless file.
NPR a few years ago did a fun double blind study [showing that 80% or] four out of five people couldn’t tell the difference between a 128 kilobit per second MP3 file and a lossless file, with the majority of the people selecting the lowest quality file as the one that they thought was the one [of] highest quality.
The point is unless you are an extremely rare exception you usually cannot tell the difference between compressed and lossless audio.

So why are we talking about this? Well when you listen to music here on YouTube or on Spotify or something you’re listening to a heavily compressed file usually between 7 to one and 10 to 1, meaning that if the lossless audio file is 50 megabytes the size of the streamed audio file is ultimately like 5 megabytes to 8 megabytes. So when you consider that the vast majority of people don’t notice the difference when up to 90 % of the information is missing [because it was removed on purpose by psychoacoustic compression] the amazing psychoacoustic magic trick of audio file compression becomes fully appreciated.
