Spotify introduces new Playlist Creator with AI
Spotify is rolling out a new feature in the UK and Australia. Users can create “AI Playlists”, i.e. a user types a prompt such as “English karaoke songs suitable to be sung by a shy German researcher who cannot sing”, and then Spotify gives you precisely that. This may be a game changer for the yearly karaoke session at the ACM RecSys Conference.
