AI seems to be seeping into every facet of society these days, but that may not be the case in communities where English isnt the dominant language. Spotify is working to correct that by offering a Spanish-speaking version of its DJ feature.
Spotify announced the new Spanish speaking feature for its DJ mode also known as Xavier or X on Wednesday. The new DJ is named Livi and Spotify has even given its new DJ a backstory describing her as a Senior Music Editor at Spotify based out of Mexico City and a music expert who has spent her entire career in the music industry.
Its basically a cruder version of how Jon Hamm can digitally assign backgrounds and perspectives to cookies in Black Mirrors Christmas episode. Does this mean X and Livia will start screaming if we play Wizzards I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday on an endless loop?
DJ is an AI generated list of curated songs based on a Spotify users listening history. The DJ feature also includes an AI voice introducing and commenting on some of the songs it picks just like a radio DJ would except this DJ plays songs you actually want to hear. The music streaming service launched DJ last year using OpenAI. Six months later, Spotify expanded DJs reach to 50 countries but only in English.
Spotifys DJ is also starting to get some competition. YouTube Music just announced its own AI-generated conversational DJ radio generator for select users. If they dont call him YouGene, then they are missing out on pure pun gold.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/spotifys-ai-music-dj-can-now-speak-spanish-180022156.html?src=rss
