JustDone tells me that the lyrics to My MTV by Dire Straits is 71% ai generated!

Excellent.

Thanks Chris that's very encouraging and super appreciated cheers buddy

Quote from: ChrisPrice on Dec 07, 2025, 11:08 AMYes, I fully agree with this. We can't be sure that these sites are accurate so trying several is a good shout.
So said, this hasn't got to become some kind of witch hunt..honesty is all I can hope for.

@ChrisPrice and @JohnS — I completely agree. In October/November 2009, I posted lyrics and a full demo of an original song I composed and recorded titled Nonexistent.

Those lyrics are still available on the Homerecording.com site in a songwriting challenge thread here: Nonexistent

I ran those lyrics through the tool Chris linked to from https://arting.ai/ai-detector and it incorrectly reported a 13% chance that my lyrics from 2009 were AI-generated and that the tool was "highly confident" my lyrics from 2009 were AI generated. 😲🤯😂🤣



In contrast, Grammarly's AI checker (https://www.grammarly.com/ai-detector) correctly identified a 0% chance that the same lyrics were AI-generated:



I also tested my most recent 20 songs using Grammarly's AI detector. Every one of them, written both before and after the rise of AI creation tools, correctly indicated that 0% were AI-generated.

Suffice it to say, I do not trust the https://arting.ai/ai-detector website's tool. Its conclusion that lyrics from 2009 were somehow AI-generated is absurd and illogical. The tool clearly generates false positives and incorrectly indicates some degree of AI involvement where there is none. In contrast, Grammarly Pro's AI detector tool reliably reports what I already knew to be true, which is that there is a 0% chance of AI-generated lyrics in my songs.

Hi @ChrisPrice 

Thanks for listening & your comments
i don't use AI on any of my songs
the vocals on this song are from a British girl called Sahara Warren if i recall 
basically i build the song around the vocals So start with some basic chords 
once they fit then i start adding other parts like building blocks The hardest part
is trying to know when to stop before it gets too cluttered ! i often ignore my own advice 
I have a little home studio in my attic so trying to get a Pro sound like with SSL or a Neve desk
will always be a challenge but the main thing is that i enjoy doing this stuff

I'll break the ice by replying to your lovely comment. I'm happy to see there are boats on the lake. @ChrisPrice
Much appreciated

Quote from: JohnS on Dec 07, 2025, 09:52 AMI've just run through 5 ai detectors, the lyrics to a song I wrote in 2020. That song won the 2020 UK Songwriting contest lyrics section so there can be no doubt when it was written - long before ai was available.

Grammerly, QuillBot, Scribbr and Notegpt say 0% ai content. However, Justdone says 74% ai content!

So, be careful which detector you use, perhaps try three or four to see if they are consistent.

Quote from: ChrisPrice on Dec 06, 2025, 09:06 PMThis is interesting. I won't name anyone, but I just ran some lyrics through this :https://arting.ai/ai-detector ..and around 50% of the lyrics one person claimed to be their own work came back as most likely AI generated...which is pretty much as I suspected. I put several lyrics of mine to the test and nothing came back as AI. I would never accuse anyone as there's no way these detectors can be 100% accurate. But I just want people to be honest about how they create their music.

Great points, Chris. There are now a lot of tools for detecting AI content (lyrics, music, art, pictures, videos, etc.) Another site that I like to use to detect fake lyrics is https://www.grammarly.com/ai-detector

I checked the lyrics posted by multiple posters on this site and most were clean and clear, but a couple showed high probabilities that their lyrics were written by AI.

It is now possible to create lists of probabilities associated with posters who post lyrics, music, and full tracks that were created by AI.

I have nothing against people using AI for their own interests or amusement, but why post to a songwriters forum and ask people to waste their time listening to fake songs, reading fake lyrics, and providing feedback for fake content that a computer generated? It makes no sense.
