That K-Pop earworm If you’re a repeat user, you may not be from Seoul. It may not even be human.
French music streaming company Deezer on Thursday released a free tool that lets users scan playlists on its platform and competing services (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, SoundCloud) to find AI-generated tracks.
You don’t need a Deezer account to use it, but you do need to give the site permission to access your streaming service of choice. Once a playlist is imported, the tool scans the AI-generated music, highlights tracks it flags as synthetic, and provides an option to share the results. There’s just one problem. You must manually remove questionable content yourself.

A Deezer spokesperson told Business Insider that the tool detects frequency artifacts, small but distinctive spectral peaks in the audio signal that are characteristic of the generative models used to create AI music. Deezer said it developed the tool by studying songs created with popular AI music generators such as Suno and Udio.
Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a statement that he hopes the AI music detector will be an “eye-opening experience” for listeners.
“As AI-generated music is no longer a marginal phenomenon and the number of daily deliveries continues to increase, we hope the entire music ecosystem will join us in taking action to protect artist rights and promote fan transparency,” Lanternier said.

The announcement comes as AI-generated music floods streaming services. Deezer announced in early June that 44% of new songs uploaded to its platform were AI-generated, amounting to about 75,000 songs per day.
But listeners don’t seem to be accepting content at the same pace as it’s being created. Deezer says AI-generated music accounts for 1% to 3% of streams on its platform, and about 85% of that is suspected to be fraudulent, such as bot-driven streams.
Consumer sentiment may also turn against AI music: An early 2026 report from music analytics firm Luminate found that interest in AI-generated music fell from -13% to -20% from May to November 2025, with Gen Z and Gen Alpha listeners showing the strongest signs of skepticism.
Most other streaming platforms either do not have AI labels or rely heavily on voluntary disclosure of AI labels.
In the meantime, if you’re wondering whether your next indie-pop obsession was created by someone or inspired, Deezer is here to do the detective work for you.
