Our playlists, more often than not, are a reflection of what we're feeling. And while the days of making mixtapes are behind us, not a lot has changed with Spotify allowing you to share your playlists with your loved ones. However, there's always a playlist for your guilty pleasures, and you're not often proud of the same! And this AI bot makes sure to hurt your feelings with its ruthless bad-mouthing of your choice in music. No, we're not crying, you are!
The bot, known as 'How bad is your Spotify?' recently caught the social media's attention and had people raving about their guilty choice of songs.
The sarcastic, cyberbullying bot was designed by 'The Pudding'. You need to log-in via your Spotify account, and it then starts off by scanning your most-played artists on Spotify. It then goes ahead by offering witty jabs about the same (and we're still proud of our A.R Rahman playlist!) before giving you your 'hyphenated-trashy-music' type. It also gives you an embarrassingly low percentage rating by the end, before saying it has to 'log out' and process your terrible taste in music! Cold, indeed.
Subscribers of the online streaming platform took to Twitter to express themselves abashedly, and here's what they had to say:
With the age of robots and AI ahead of us, it is perhaps safe to expect more projects like this take over the internet in the future. And while we're not complaining, it does seem a tad bit scary to imagine a future with robots in it!
Want yours judged? Don't say we didn't warn you!:
