The music streaming service unveiled a new feature called "DJ" that uses artificial intelligence to curate your music and offer commentary on music and artists amid a surge of interest in AI tools such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, according to USA Today.
Spotify announced Wednesday the beta rollout of DJ, which it described as "a personalized AI guide." The feature mixes a selection of songs you might like based on data alongside an AI commentator with "a stunningly realistic voice." (Think of a radio DJ.)
The DJ, Spotify said, will know your music taste so well it can choose what to play for you when you hit the button.
The company said the feature combines its existing personalization technology, generative AI through the use of OpenAI technology and an AI voice from its Sonantic acquisition.
The DJ's voice was modeled after Spotify's head of cultural partnerships, Xavier “X” Jernigan, who hosted the service's morning show "The Get Up." Spotify said his voice served as the "first model" for the DJ and said it will continue to iterate.
To find the feature, go to your Music feed on Home in the Spotify mobile app and tap play on the DJ button. If you want to switch it up, hit the DJ button at the bottom right of the screen.
