Music platform Deezer will tag songs made with artificial intelligence
Music streaming service Deezer said Friday that it will start flagging albums with AI-generated songs, part of its fight against streaming fraudsters. The Paris-based company is grappling with a surge in music on its platform created purely with generative artificial intelligence tools that it says are used to fraudulently earn royalties.

Generating Shakespeare-like text with an n-gram language model is straight forward and quite simple. But, don't expect to much of it. It will not be able to recreate a lost Shakespear play for you ;-) It's merely a parrot, making up well sounding sentences out of fragments of original Shakespeare texts...
