Personally, it's made it next to impossible for me to find new music I like on Spotify, now. It's in Spotify's interest to make sure musical outliers don't (irreparably) mutate a user's music profile. For example- what if I needed to research and collect Bollywood music for a project or something? I should be able to opt out of having that affect my music profile. I wish you could make a playlist and check a box or something to say that you don't want it to be factored into your music 'taste.' It should be obvious to Spotify that users may browse music genres that they don't actually like. I tried deleting the sleep playlist and liking a bunch of normal artists but my Discover Weekly hasn't changed. Now Spotify thinks I listen to meditation music. I played it on repeat overnight for like a month. If you want to be bullied by a piece of technology today, be our guest.I made a playlist that had 3 songs on it to help me fall asleep. Spotify’s “2020 Wrapped” was all positive reinforcement, neatly packaged and made to share on social, but people who go through the dragging that is “How Bad is Your Spotify” are also sharing their results on social media to demonstrate just how hard the AI came for them.

So that feels gratuitous.įinally, the AI will tell you just how bad your taste in music is, qualifying it with labels that feel oddly specific, including, but not limited to, “learns-about-rap-from-tiktok bad” or “scented-candle-and-hard-seltzer bad.” It’ll also react to some of your most-played music asking you if you’re OK – a condition we are all very clearly not in 2020. It’ll wonder, with a disparaging air of incredulity, if you listen to certain songs. If it sees too much Taylor Swift (and let’s face it, it probably will), it’ll point that out. This bot has no patience for any of your guilty pleasures. Spotify got a big boost this year from an unexpected audience

Ai how bad is your spotify
