discussion Have you used Spotify's AI DJ feature?

[cockatoo]

Spotify introduced their new personalised DJ feature in February earlier this year, but it only rolled out in my country a couple of days ago. Essentially it's a bit like their daily mixes but the DJ changes the genre/vibe after about 4 or 5 songs. The DJ also unnervingly talks to you 

 

It seems interesting, I wonder if anyone else has tried it out?

I tried it for 2 days and it’s horrible. Kinda defeats the purpose and fun of making playlist yourself. Also my DJ’s voice was annoying. It felt like an obnoxious Ad

i don't have this feature yet but it seems gimmicky. i don't think i'd want a robot speaking over songs i play. 

[Kayseri Mantisi]

No because it's also not available here yet.

[Alldeezy]

Don't think it's available for me yet

[apasionata]

No

Yes until it kept shoving Spotify’s shitty curated KPop/Pop/Top 40 playlists into my queue

I use it at the gym if I don’t have anything specific I want to to listen to. The other day he hit me with Sugababes-Kylie Minogue-Celine Dion triple play so he gets my vote

I thought it was kinda dumb. "AI" is such a buzzword now, I don't see how it's any different from their typical playlist aggregation feature, besides having a robot host in between songs. I mean, their playlist curation has always been "artificial intelligence" because it just interprets listener data.
