It asked me whether I’d ever been to Coachella. You’ll probably get a little angry with its smugness too. The bot has been “trained on a corpus of over two million indicators of objectively good music, includingPitchfork reviews, record store recommendations, and subreddits you’ve never heard of.”Īs it huffs and snorts through your artists, albums and playlists with pure derision, you may be asked “Do you really listen to this band?” Answer “yes” and it’ll be followed up with “like unironically?” Related: How to get your Spotify Wrapped 2020 Just log in using your Spotify account and answer a few questions based upon your listening habits. But you know what isn’t? An AI bot that’s been trained to be super judgemental of your musical taste in, say, the manner of a Pitchfork reviewer drinking PBR while wearing cut-off jeans at a Brooklyn pop-up vegan taco truckĮnter How Bad Is Your Spotify, which was created by The Pudding, will really stick it to you in no uncertain terms by rifling through your streaming collection. Most will have been too kind to say anything. The bot dished out scathing reviews, telling one user that “your Spotify was masters-in-creative-writing-boomer-relaxation-nobody-puts-baby-in-a-corner bad,” and that their listening activity was “disco-is-back bad, mama-mia bad, jazz-everyone’s-heard-of bad.The mass posting of Spotify Wrapped 2020 round-ups will have doubtless had many friends raising eyebrows at each other’s musical persuasions. In this case, the bot processes one’s listening history and asks a few snarky question before churning out a volley of hurtful, but hauntingly accurate digs at one’s taste in music.
This is similar to prompts on other third-party apps which let users log in via Facebook or Google. The Pudding’s bot will prompt users to login with their Spotify account after promising to noy post or change anything associated with the account. Taste is a subjective matter, but the AI bot could take one to task for spending hours listening to K-Pop or too many maudlin Bollywood songs. Unlike Spotify’s original year-in review, which offers a straightforward playlist of the songs that got one through the year, The Pudding’s ‘How Bad is Your Spotify’ might not be as forgiving.
