Ammit

About

Ammit — named after the Egyptian devourer of unworthy souls — keeps
AI-generated artists out of your listening sessions on YouTube Music and the
Spotify Web Player.

WHAT IT DOES

• Recognizes AI-generated artists while you listen and skips their tracks
  automatically. Skipping is the default action — nothing destructive happens
  unless you ask for it.
• Shows a small crocodile badge next to the player with a verdict for the
  current artist: blocked, AI, unsure, human, or whitelisted.
• One click on the badge to block an artist or mark them "Not AI".
• A popup with the current track's verdict, your pending review list, and all
  settings.

HOW DETECTION WORKS

• A curated blocklist of confirmed AI artists ships with the extension and is
  refreshed periodically.
• An on-device heuristic scores public catalog metadata: release patterns and
  catalog age, audience size, real-world footprint (concerts, merchandise),
  and presence in the MusicBrainz open music database. Established artists are
  explicitly protected by veto rules.
• No audio analysis, no page scraping beyond the player you're looking at,
  and your personal whitelist always wins.

YOU STAY IN CONTROL

• Default is skip-only. An optional "full action" mode also dislikes the
  track (YouTube Music) or bans the artist in your library (Spotify) so the
  platform's own recommendations learn to avoid them.
• Automatic blocking from heuristic verdicts is opt-in; by default suspected
  artists just land in a review list where you decide.
• Tracks you have liked or saved are never touched.
• A sensitivity slider tunes how aggressive detection is.

COMMUNITY (OPT-IN, OFF BY DEFAULT)

• You can opt in to contribute anonymous reports ("this artist is AI" /
  "not AI") that help maintain the shared blocklist — think SponsorBlock, but
  for AI music.
• Reports contain a random install identifier, the artist id, and public
  catalog metadata. They never contain your identity, account data, or
  listening history.

PRIVACY

• No analytics, no tracking, no account required.
• Network traffic is limited to the streaming platforms themselves, the
  MusicBrainz API for artist lookups, and blocklist updates. Community
  reporting only happens if you explicitly enable it.

Ammit is open source.
