## Key points

- AI DJ commentary disrupted the writer’s listening.
- YouTube Music made factual and pronunciation errors.
- Spotify felt tighter, but still did not win them over.

## Summary

YouTube Music and Spotify are adding AI DJs that interrupt playlists with spoken introductions and music recommendations. The writer argues that the commentary disrupts listening and often feels shallow, despite the services presenting it as useful context.

YouTube Music’s experimental DJ speaks for about 30 seconds between tracks; one introduction mispronounced Charli XCX and another discussed a Chappell Roan remix before the original version played. Spotify’s DJ also uses listening history and requests to select music, and its commentary felt more concise, though its eight English-language voices sometimes use filler words. Spotify says 80 per cent of listeners return to the DJ weekly, but the writer found both services’ optional features unappealing.
