You might think that your Spotify choices are the epitome of cool. You can share your playlists with others thinking that you are a trend setter. But you may also really need a serious reality check on your music choices. Fortunately, The Pudding folks have created a new artificial intelligence robot that will judge your selections on Spotify and toast you ruthlessly.
So this is how it works. You can start by going to “How Bad Is Your Spotify?” The Pudding. website right here. Once there, click on the “Discover” button to set the roasting in motion.
Do you suspect how this AI can objectively offer fair criticism? The bot, trained by Mike Lacher and Matt Daniels, explains: “I was trained on a corpus of more than two million indicators of objectively good music, including Pitchfork reviews, recommendations from record stores and subreddits that you’ve never heard of. “
If you are satisfied with this explanation, you will be asked to log in to your Spotify account. The bot will then analyze your Spotify library, asking questions that will seriously question the coolness of the collection. Do you still feel a little insecure? Well, the biggest burns are yet to come while the analysis continues.
“Your Spotify was very good,” said the bot initially to this writer before serving a “jk”. Aside from the pranks, comments continue, “Your Spotify was bad” before correcting to “Your Spotify was bad with tacks-leather jacket-tommy-bahama-slow dance”. According to the bot, that burn was courtesy of a good amount of listening to The Clash, Beck’s Soft gold album and choosing one of the first Norah Jones songs that the bot found in this writer’s collection.
Based on your listening habits, I can also say that your Spotify was …
> bad mid nineties flannel shirt
> midwest-classic-rock bad
> bad adult-skater
> bad-but-travis-is-a-virtuous
> bad acoustic boomer
Take us to the burn ward now! “You are 11% basic. You are trying to impress with some obscure tracks like Spiritualized. No one is mistaken, “added the bot, while drawing the writer’s attention to the 2020 song:” You are too fashionable for your own good. You only hear music made last year like KALEO’s ‘Break My Baby’ and Rob Zombie’s ‘The Triumph of King Freak’. “
So there it is! This bot illuminated me! Are you ready for an assessment of your listening tastes on Spotify? Start here.
