YouTube Music and Spotify's AI DJs fail to impress users

youtube music's 'beyond the beat' and spotify's ai dj are experimental features that provide synthetic commentary between songs. however, users have found the ai djs to be annoying, with their attempts at providing helpful context and mimicking human candor often failing. for example, youtube music's ai dj mispronounced charli xcx's name and provided lengthy paragraphs of platitudes with little substance. spotify's ai dj, on the other hand, has added new voices to its lineup, but users have found the use of filler words like 'you know' and 'like' to be frustrating. despite spotify claiming 80 percent of listeners return to its ai dj feature week after week, some users have disabled the feature due to its poor execution.
