Survey Shock: Most Listeners Can't Tell AI Songs From Human Ones

A Deezer/Ipsos study found the vast majority of listeners struggled to distinguish fully AI-generated music from human-made tracks in a blind test, and it reports strong support for transparent labeling.

Expect "AI tagging" to become a mainstream expectation—not a niche debate.

For indie artists, the implication is clear: authenticity and human storytelling become even more important as differentiators when the sonic quality gap narrows.
