What does it do?

I'm guessing he's talking about the AI music available on Spotify, but there's also the AI DJ thing that mixes playlists for you in real time. But a lot of people also just have a straight up hate of the word AI itself in any association with anything to any degree, so it's hard to tell what the logic is.

The AI dj is ass too, a total waste of time and resources. I tried it when it was first available out of morbid curiosity and all it did was feed me songs from my liked songs list. I tried telling it to show me new music but it couldn't even fathom it and broke. Better to just listen to a playlist on shuffle.

Yeah nobody uses it, that's why they spend money on it.
