Is Your Business Already Being Flooded?
Imagine walking into your office in Penang or KL tomorrow morning. You check your Shopee store. You have 50 new reviews since midnight. They all say the same thing. “Barang sampai. Thank you seller.” “Fast delivery. Good quality.” No photos. No specific details. Just… noise.
This is the exact problem a global music platform is fighting right now. And how they fight it applies directly to you.
Deezer recently opened its AI music detection tool to other companies source. The tool has tagged over 13.4 million AI-generated songs in 2025 alone. The flood is massive: 60,000 AI tracks are uploaded daily, making up 39% of all uploads source. Even worse, 85% of the AI music streams detected were fraudulent source.
TL;DR: AI-generated content isn’t just a music industry problem. It’s a fraud and authenticity crisis hitting every digital platform your business touches—from reviews and testimonials to the content you buy and the data you use. The same detection technology Deezer uses is now available, and you need a plan to apply similar filters to your own SME operations.
What This Means for Your Daily Business
Deezer’s tool acts like a digital forensics expert. It analyzes every track for the subtle fingerprints of AI generation. It doesn’t just delete the songs; it tags them and refuses to promote them. This protects the royalty pool for human artists.
For your SME, your “royalty pool” is customer trust. Every fake review, every generic social media comment from a bot, every piece of outsourced content that is actually written by ChatGPT—all of it steals from your trust pool. Deezer claims a 99.8% accuracy rate source. This proves the technology to fight the noise is real and ready. The question is whether you are using it.
How This Applies to Your SME in Malaysia
1. The Review Trust Crisis. If you run a F&B outlet, a boutique shop, or a service business, your online reputation is everything. AI-generated reviews are now extremely common. Competitors or bad actors can easily generate dozens of 1-star reviews that look completely human, or spam you with generic 5-star reviews that look suspicious. Deezer’s fight against fraudulent streams is exactly parallel to your fight against fraudulent reputation damage. You must monitor your reviews for patterns of generic language, and you must know the platform’s tools to report suspected fraud.
2. The Content Sourcing Trap. You hire a content writer to blog for your website or write a Facebook campaign. You pay for their expertise. But what if they just fed your brief into an AI tool and pasted the output? You are paying for a premium human service but getting a commodity machine product. Deezer is fighting this on a massive scale for music. For your marketing, the result is a brand that sounds generic, fails to cut through the noise, and ultimately provides a poor return on your advertising effort. The solution is straightforward: ask your writers and designers to provide an AI originality report alongside their deliverables. Treat it as a standard part of quality control.
3. The Internal Data Pollution Risk. Your business automation tools rely on data. If your customer feedback forms, contact us pages, and social media feeds are being flooded with AI-generated text, you are feeding your business tools garbage. This is the “garbage in, garbage out” principle. Deezer is seeing 39% of its uploads as AI. What percentage of interactions in your business are AI-generated spam or noise? If you use automation to analyze customer sentiment, AI-generated text will distort your analysis. The first step to protecting your data is filtering the input. Just as Deezer tags AI content, you need processes to flag and segregate AI-generated inputs from genuine human interactions in your CRM.
4. The Authenticity Advantage. Here is the good news. You are a local business in Malaysia. An AI cannot truly capture the feel of a local kopitiam, the specific frustration of a KL traffic jam, or the genuine warmth of “Manglish” in a service interaction. The more AI content floods the market, the more valuable your authentic local voice becomes. Deezer isn’t just fighting fraud; it is fighting to preserve the value of human creativity. Your business has a built-in moat: your realness. The current environment rewards businesses that lean hard into their local, human identity.
“We know that the majority of AI-music is uploaded to Deezer with the purpose of committing fraud… Every fraudulent stream that we detect is demonetized so that the royalties of human artists… are not affected.”
— Alexis Lanternier, Deezer CEO source
SMEs need to adopt the same attitude. The majority of AI-generated content hitting your business may not be malicious, but most of it is low-effort noise that dilutes your brand and wastes your time. You must actively filter this noise out of your business systems.
The Fraud Landscape: Deezer vs. Your SME

| 85% of AI music streams are fraudulent | The percentage of generic, low-value leads that waste your sales team’s time |
| Protecting royalty pool for human artists | Protecting the trust pool your business relies on for repeat customers |
| Commercializing their detection tool | The need for you to adopt simple verification tools in your workflow |
Practical Actions You Can Take This Week
You don’t need a huge budget or a team of engineers. Here is your simple checklist:
- Audit Your Reviews: Check your Google, Shopee, and Lazada reviews. Look for clusters of generic, short reviews. If you see a spike of suspicious reviews, report them to the platform immediately.
- Test Your Freelancers: Ask your writers and designers to run their work through a free AI detector (like Originality.ai or GPTZero) and provide the score. Make this a standard part of your project acceptance criteria.
- Add a “Human Filter” to Your Forms: Add a simple question to your contact forms that is easy for a Malaysian customer but hard for an AI. For example: “Which state is Pulau Pinang located in?” or “Type the name of our shop in the box below.”
- Create a Simple AI Policy: Write a one-page policy for your team. It doesn’t have to ban AI. It just needs to say: “Any AI-generated content must be reviewed and heavily edited by a human before use. We never publish AI content directly.”
- Double Down on “Local”: Intentionally add Manglish phrases, local stories, and real photos of your team to your marketing. Focus on content that an AI cannot easily generate. This is your strongest competitive advantage.
The Bigger Picture: The Rise of the Authenticity Economy
Deezer’s move to commercialize its AI detection tool is a signal of a massive trend. We are moving from the “Information Age” to the “Authenticity Age.” The platforms are building the fences to keep the AI noise out. Banks verifying identities, streaming services verifying content—soon, every platform will verify “humanness.”
For the next 5 to 10 years, the most valuable thing your SME can own is verifiable trust. Can you prove your reviews are from real people? Can you prove your content was written by a human expert? Can you prove your business is a real, operating Malaysian entity with real stories to tell?
At AutoRunBiz, we help you automate the parts of your business that stop you from focusing on this. Let the machines handle the noise, so you can focus on the genuine human experiences that truly build a lasting brand. The AI flood isn’t something to fear. It is a filter that will separate the real businesses from the rest. Make sure you are on the right side of that filter.
