And no one knows the music scene better than they do." "We have experts in genres who know music and culture inside and out. "The expertise of our editors is something that’s really important to our philosophy at Spotify," reads the press release. (It's also unclear how editors might keep up with the program, considering that the AI's algorithm is allegedly crafting cultural commentary in real-time.) Spotify does claim that it has editors in charge of making sure that the AI provides accurate information, but we've heard that tune before. But it really would be something to behold. We're also not hoping that it falls in love with users, suddenly begins to ponder its sentience, or starts to name its enemies, all of which OpenAI's tech has already done. Though it's unclear what exactly the OpenAI device at hand is, it's presumably some version of OpenAI's Large Language Model (LLM), GPT - the same overly confident tech that's not just constantly wrong about things, but has led to the chaos that is Microsoft's Bing Chat/Sydney going off the absolute rails.Īnd look, we're not hoping that the streamer's artificial DJ starts spouting believable bullshit about musicians, transforming Mr. Spotify says in the release that the AI DJ is powered by two AI components: a Spotify-owned AI voice generation tool called Sonastic and, most intriguingly, unspecified OpenAI tech. Just another AI cog in the vibe vacuum, baby. Spotify's AI DJ is seemingly the exact opposite, regurgitating - like so many music algorithms do - a listener's patterns back at them, without any genuine flair (re: human) of its own. Of course, one might argue that Spotify's inhuman pocket DJ goes directly against everything that a radio DJ has always been: a curator, sure, but a curator who uses their individual human taste and sensibility to bring music to listeners.
"Think of it as the very best of Spotify's personalization," it adds, "but as an AI DJ in your pocket."
