The finding - that 97 percent of people can't tell the difference between fully AI-generated and human-made music - was alarming. But it's also not the whole story. In the survey, 9,000 participants listened to three tracks and were asked to guess which, if any, were completely AI-generated. If the participant failed to guess all three correctly, they were put in the fail pile. That means if you got two of three correct, Deezer and Ipsos still said you couldn't tell the difference between fully AI-generated music and the real deal.

A study by Deezer and Ipsos found that 97% of people struggle to distinguish between AI-generated and human-made music. However, the methodology, which required participants to correctly identify all three tracks to pass, may have skewed results. The experiment involved 9,000 participants listening to three tracks and guessing which were AI-generated. Missing even one track led to a fail classification, suggesting the difficulty in identifying AI music may not be as severe as it appears.

- A recent experiment by Deezer and Ipsos revealed that 97 percent of participants could not distinguish between AI-generated and human-made music.  
- The study involved 9,000 participants who listened to three tracks and were categorized as unable to tell the difference if they failed to identify all three correctly.  
- This finding raises concerns about the public's ability to recognize AI-generated music, although the methodology may oversimplify the results.

97 percent of people struggle to identify AI music, but it’s not as bad as it seems
