ChatGPT’s new suite of apps has me hooked, but none more than the Spotify integration. With just a mention, ChatGPT offers to link my Spotify account, and I’m in. Here’s what happened when I let AI take control of my music:
Unveiling My Musical Past
I connected my Spotify account, and ChatGPT dove into my musical history. Turns out, my taste is a “chaotic blend of punk, jazz, and classic rock, with a lot of showtunes and children’s music lately.” Spot on! ChatGPT even broke down my daily listening habits – hype up tunes in the morning, Sesame Street and Beatles in the afternoon.
Discovering New Tunes
I asked ChatGPT to suggest new music based on my history. It delivered! I found myself grooving to under-the-radar punk bands, recent Broadway revival tracks, and Ella Fitzgerald B-sides. Even the obscure Sesame Street tune I was hunting down, “Put Down the Duckie,” was found in a flash.
Playlist Magic
ChatGPT’s other main trick? Making playlists from prompts. I asked for a nostalgic punk playlist for highway driving, and “Highway Punk” was born, complete with Green Day, Blink-182, and Jimmy Eat World. For my toddler, “Jazz Hands & Juice Boxes” blended Louis Armstrong with Bluey and Elmo, keeping both of us happy.
AI DJ: Hit or Miss?
I’ve always been a musical scatterbrain, but with ChatGPT’s help, I might become more informed. It’s no substitute for chatting with a musically savvy friend, but for finding forgotten tunes or creating playlists, AI’s got my back. So, who’s ready to let ChatGPT take control of their Spotify?
