Spotify’s had a complicated relationship with AI. The platform released its first AI-powered feature, a “DJ” that provides commentary between sets of tracks in a never-ending, algorithmically generated playlist, in 2023. Last year, the platform added the ability to make requests to guide its DJ feature. Spotify’s DJ has been well liked by some users — but an influx of AI-generated music across all platforms has been a thorn in the side of many streaming listeners. (It’s important to note here that while Prompted Playlist uses AI to compile its mixes, it does not generate the tracks that populate those lists.)
Prompted Playlist is rolling out to Premium subscribers in the US and Canada by the end of the month. You can make your own by tapping Create in the bottom right corner of the Spotify app, then tapping Prompted Playlist.
