What's New and Discover Weekly are completely useless right now due to AI and duplicate artists

I'm not posting this to the help forum, because I'm not looking for tech support. Just want to see if I'm the only one experiencing this.

 

Spotify needs to change how they disambiguate duplicate artists, it's getting ridiculous. Lately there's been a constant stream of slop in my What's New page, because it all has the same name as artists I actually follow. Sometimes it's a single from an unrelated artist that has one of my followed artists listed as a feature, when no such feature exists. Other times it's actual new songs under the name of somebody I listen to, despite it being someone completely different but put on the same artist page. Often it's blatantly AI-generated music, and as AI-generated content continues to swarm and inundate the internet, it's going to become even more tedious to sort through all this junk. 

 

Currently there are 12 slop entries in my What's New tab, and 29 real ones. That means every time I see a notification for a new release, there's a 30% chance it's NOT going to be the actual artist. I've had to unfollow artists because of this. Is it just me?
