No, you are not required to accept AI-generated music on Groover. As a curator on Groover, you have full control over the kind of music you want to receive. While some curators are open to AI-assisted tracks, others prefer music made entirely by human artists. That’s totally fine.
Here’s how to manage your preferences regarding AI music on Groover:
1. If you don’t accept AI-generated tracks, say so in your profile
If you do not want to receive AI-generated music submissions, we ask you to state that using the AI music tag available in your preferences. Artists can check your profile before submitting and avoid sending tracks that don’t match your criteria.
Additionally, you can also add a sentence about this in your bio:
Example text for your curator bio:
“I do not accept AI-generated or AI-assisted music submissions.”
This helps artists filter better and ensures your feedback time is spent on tracks that meet your standards.
2. Don’t assume a track is AI-generated unless it’s clearly stated
Some music may sound electronic or synthetic, but that doesn’t always mean it was created with AI. Please avoid making assumptions in your review even if you think AI tools were used.
You can use words to describe what you don't like about the track without mentioning AI. Words like these can convey your message:
"generic"
"predictable"
"too polished"
"lacking emotion"
If you’re curious, you can ask the artist directly in the feedback:
“Was this track created with the help of AI or fully by you?” (don't forget to enable them to access your email address by ticking the box "the artist can contact me" if you want to receive a reply)
Being open while remaining respectful helps maintain Groover’s constructive spirit.
3. Always aim for honest, respectful feedback
Whether you accept AI music or not, Groover always encourages constructive and respectful communication between artists and curators. Clear expectations on both sides improve the quality of feedback and the overall experience on the platform.
