    No shit with the company that has a CEO that calls music ~“content without production costs”. Soulless middleman profiteering ghouls.

    I won’t even pay for Spotify. I’ve only bought one song since the advent of AI and it’s from an artist I trust not to use slop

    lol I’m so glad I unsubbed back when they started letting ICEatzgruppen advertise on their platform. I paid for ad free, but simply knowing they were running ads for the all-American Stasi made me drop them like a hot potato.

    They’re right, most people have shit music taste.

    I have shit music taste, but only because I’m self aware enough to know I do.

    You may be shrugging right now, going “well, I don’t have shit music taste.”

    You do.

      It’s not shit, it’s just easily hackable. If a real person recommends a song or band, I let most of my defenses down and try to find why it was recommended.

      • Consider those who just turn on artist radios, Spotify can’t blacklist an artist they feature, to my knowledge.

        Oh, there’s an Ai group in your favorite artist’s radio? Guess there always will be, and they won’t be alone, why do that? Less they have to pay.

        That has nothing to do with taste. You could be blasting Dave Brubeck and the next song is an Ai drum solo.

    It’s crap. I’ve listened to a little of it. Generic, predictable, and full of issues like “singers” rapping out 30 seconds of high volume lyrics without a single intake of breath. But it fits in with the general overall quality of available music on Spotify. A sea of boring and low-effort junk.

    I don’t want AI music; however Spotify has made great playlist of recommended artist of music I like.

    There platform also works correctly for listening on WiFi which Tidal did not.

    I think they will learn quickly that people don’t like AI generated music. If people do end up liking it, then I’m sad because so far Spotify recommendations is something I talked highly about in past years.
