There’s a huge problem on major streaming platforms lately with AI-generated music. Most new music submitted to platforms like Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, and Qobuz is AI-generated slop, produced by scammers just looking to trick you into listening to titles that are just close enough to the titles and artists you are searching for to fool you. By the time you realize your mistake, they already got paid for that stream.

These platforms are doing their best to identify, flag, or remove AI-generated music, and have different stances on it. But it’s a losing battle; music distributors accept pretty much anything, and they’re not about to undertake the expense of vetting every new song.

At Radio Calico, we have human curators behind every track you hear. We only add music from reputable sources and original recordings from real, human artists.

Even those station ID breaks you hear every hour are from real human celebrity impersonators we hired, not AI voice clones. And every song intro was recorded by a real human being, in front of a real microphone.

It’s getting hard to avoid AI-generated music on the web, but Radio Calico will always be an AI-free safe haven.
