## Key points

- Lorde slammed Spotify's AI-generated song and album blurbs as inaccurate
- She wants artists given the option to opt out of AI descriptions
- She separately warned festivalgoers against Meta's AI smart glasses

## Summary

Lorde has publicly criticised Spotify for using artificial intelligence to generate introductory blurbs that accompany songs and albums on the platform. She argued that these AI-written descriptions can be inaccurate and risk colouring how listeners interpret her music before they have heard it for themselves, and she called on Spotify to give artists the ability to opt out of such AI-generated content being attached to their work.

The intervention formed part of a wider pattern of scepticism Lorde has voiced towards new technology in recent public appearances. During a festival performance in Madrid, she also criticised Meta's AI-powered smart glasses as a privacy risk, urging attendees not to buy the devices.
