It is possible for users who speak Spanish to access the music sommelier service offered by the music streaming giant.
It would appear that artificial intelligence is making its way into every aspect of society in this day and age; however, this may not be the case in places where English is not the predominant language. With the intention of addressing this issue, Spotify is now planning to provide a DJ feature that is available in Spanish.
On Wednesday, Spotify made the announcement that it would be adding a Spanish-speaking option to its DJ mode, which is also referred to as Xavier or “X.” Livi is the name of the new DJ, and Spotify has even provided a background biography for her, stating that she is a “Senior Music Editor at Spotify based out of Mexico City” and that she is “a music expert who has spent her entire career in the music industry.”
It is essentially a more crude version of the way that Jon Hamm may digitally assign backdrops and perspectives to “cookies” in the Christmas episode of Black Mirror. Should we play Wizzard’s “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday” on repeat for an indefinite amount of time? Does this imply that X and Livia will start the screaming?
DJ is an artificial intelligence-generated list of songs that are selected based on the listening history of a Spotify user. Additionally, the DJ feature contains an artificial intelligence voice that introduces and comments on some of the songs that it selects, exactly like a radio DJ would, with the exception that this DJ plays songs that you actually want to hear. With the help of OpenAI, the music streaming service introduced DJ in the previous year. After a period of six months, Spotify expanded DJ’s services to fifty countries, although exclusively in the English language.
The DJ service offered by Spotify is also beginning to face some competition. A conversational DJ radio generator made by artificial intelligence has just been introduced by YouTube Music for a small group of users. It would be a mistake for them not to call him “YouGene,” because they would be missing out on great pun gold.
