AI Slop FM radio experiment puts machines on trial, one dodgy tune at a time
Welsh music fan Mike Chaffin has launched AI Slop FM, an internet radio station that plays AI-generated and human-made tracks without identifying which is which. He hopes listeners will judge the music itself, helping test whether resistance to AI music is based on how it sounds or on its origins.
The free station runs around the clock and invites listeners to rate songs from S to E, describe how they feel and leave feedback. It is in beta while Chaffin gathers enough submissions across genres; popular tracks are intended for a weekly Slop 40, with genre-specific stations also planned for other entries. Early submissions include HR protest songs and an opera about a blocked toilet, but there are not yet results showing which music listeners prefer.
In short
- AI Slop FM hides whether tracks are made by people or AI.
- Listeners can rate songs and help shape a weekly Slop 40.
- The station is still gathering submissions, so there are no results yet.
