I got recommended a new song by Architecture in Helsinki. Oh holy shit, they’re back together and released something?
Nope, someone spoofed the band name and its an AI generated song about Minecraft. Somehow this still caused it to get immediately recommended to me.

Spotify is playing AI music? Or just the music recommendation algo?
I feel like Spotify went downhill when they fired all the playlist makers, it’s so ass for finding new music because the algo tries to keep you in a bubble.

Spotify is playing AI music and they’re also inserting AI generated songs into playlists without informing the user. I was getting AI generated music in my blues and jazz playlists, and I didn’t even know until I reverse searched the artist.

That’s true, idk anything about Spotify’s history but I joined hoping it would help me find cool music and it really didn’t. I know my friend uses it for that and it works for him, I think though the music I’m starting with is too specific and narrow or smth (even though there’s several different genres)
I wish there was just some quiz thing where it plays 300 little clips and you rate how good they sound, and then it could iteratively refine the quiz and recommendations as you go on

Yeah it really sucks because they used to have people putting together the playlists and then I could just go into the playlist of songs I like and find other songs that are similar but different. There was enough drift on it but I could find new music easily.
Now the algorithm just keeps trying to redirect me the songs I already like/know. It’s a much tighter bubble than just sticking with a genre or even sub genre.
