A growing community of online music fans is using Google Assistant's song recognition abilities to identify previously undiscovered samples buried in the music of artists like Daft Punk, Mobb Deep and Oneohtrix Point Never.
Tracklib has reported that scores of samples have been identified by members of a Discord community named Sample Hunting.
By running audio directly from their computers into the AI-powered song recognition technology used by the mobile virtual assistant software Google Assistant, sample hunters have been able to discover previously unknown samples, some even shorter than a second in length.
