I wonder if there are two people reading this and wishing that Coldplay had employed this technology earlier this summer?

On a serious note, I find this trend of shoving AI everywhere pretty disturbing. For instance, I used to enjoy Spotify’s “Discover Weekly” feature to find new music, but these days it’s offering so many AI generated songs the experience is pretty jarring.

I've been really tempted to drop out of Spotify and start buying CDs from my local music shop instead. Then I can get a USB CD reader and start building my own little music collection. In the pursuit of keeping "up to date" and having access to "everything" we've totally lost touch with the human element of sharing music.

Spotify is an unbelievably shitty company, literally any other music service is better for everyone involved.
