Half of the weekly playlists are filled with AI generated content

I swear, this thing is killing Spotify.
I keep getting songs of the same "Artists" (*people writing on a prompt on a website) despite I downvoted their "songs" every single time I got one in my generated playlist.

Release radar and Discovery weekly are important features for me, it's basically my only way to discover new music... I don't want AI cr*p in them.
Why I don't have any option to filter fake music?!

I agree. It seems there is only a small number of songs in the genre that I like. And only one song by many of these artists. I’m really tired of Spotify and am trying out you tunic music and may switch. 
the si generated music is dull and not very intelligent!

My Question or Issue

The last months I notice my Discover Weekly playlist gets more and more filled with AI generated music. They are recognizable by:

- Obviously AI generated cover art

- Weird artist names, especially considering the genre (in my case often metal)

- Album released in 2024
- No bio or other info, artist cannot be found on search engines, socials, etc.

- No label - often released by DistroKid (label reads: 123456 DK records or another number)

 

It has gotten really bad lately. This week's Discover Weekly has four AI gen songs in the first 5 entries. It makes me very sad that this garbage penetrates in the recommended playlists of users. I have even encountered an AI generated cover track of an existing artist. Disgusting.

I cannot flag tracks as being AI generated (would be a good feature) but how can i keep this out of my suggested tracks?

 

A few examples from this weeks playlist:
