The launch follows a familiar script.
Spotify’s AI DJ feature now speaks more languages, because that’s exactly what AI breakthroughs look like. The company adds four new languages to its AI-powered playlist generator, because who needs human curation anyway? The feature is still being rolled out, because ” soon” is a very flexible word. Spotify wants to make its services more accessible, which is code for “we want more users”. And, of course, it’s all made possible by the magic of AI, which is just a fancy way of saying “algorithm”.
The AI DJ feature is still a thing, and it’s still not clear why we need it.
