Automatically block AI-generated artists on Spotify using a crowd-sourced list
Block AI-generated music on Spotify
Automatically blocks artists known for AI-generated music using a community-maintained list.
Wondering if a Spotify artist is AI-generated? If you don’t want to install the script and just want to check an artist, you can search the list of AI music artists here:
Search the AI Artist List
Use the Search this file box at the top of the page to look for the artist name or ID.
The script automatically blocks artists from a community list of AI-generated music and runs quietly when you open Spotify Web.
Spotify does not provide an official API for blocking artists. This userscript mimics requests made by Spotify’s web player and may violate Spotify's Terms of Service. Use at your own risk.
fetch requests to extract the access token.localStorage.localStorage to prevent duplicate requests.Found an AI-generated artist that is not on the list? Submit them using the GitHub submission form.
You can submit the currently playing artist directly from Spotify Web: Hold Shift + Right Click (Spotify disables the normal context menu), then go to Tampermonkey → Spotify AI Artist Blocker → Report AI Artist on GitHub. The submission form will open automatically with the artist information already pre-filled.
Does this work in the Spotify app?
Blocking the artists only works in the Spotify Web Player. But once blocked, the artists are blocked everywhere you use Spotify.
Do I need to install this on every device?
No, the block applies globally to your Spotify account, so once an artist is blocked, it counts on all devices.
Can I unblock artists later?
Yes, just unblock them on their artist page, they will not be blocked from that device again.
Will this get my Spotify account banned?
No known bans so far, but it uses unofficial methods and could theoretically violate ToS.
