The article says AI-generated content has become nearly impossible to avoid online. Platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok have expanded authentication efforts and increasingly label AI-made images, videos, and music.

The move reflects growing pressure on major platforms to address AI-generated music, rights protection, and unauthorized use of music-related content.
