Ryan Haines / Android Authority Spotify has been experimenting with AI in some form since 2023, when it first debuted its personalized DJ. In the early days, I felt the DJ was pretty rough. Sure, it would sometimes provide me with new bangers in the style I liked or play some old yet beloved song I hadn’t thought about in decades, but the biggest issue was the lack of real customization. This improved significantly in 2024 with the introduction of AI playlists, but it’s been a slow journey. Si
