YouTube has just launched a new program, called Soberly “Labs”, which proposes to try new functions, mainly transported by AI, in preview. Directed by YouTube music, the first function is none other than a radio animator mode. Specifically, artificial intelligence will intervene between the songs while listening to music.
A radio host designed from scratch by AI
YouTube explains that these “smart music hosts” enrich listening. Like the radio animators, they will quickly evoke the following song, their musical flavors or will tell you anecdotes about the artists of their playlist.
If you join the program (it must be a YouTube Premium subscriber and, without a doubt, it passes through a VPN, because the experiment is currently reserved for US users), this animator created from scratch by AI, therefore, will analyze its music, before intervening when you hear mixtures (reproduction lists generated according to the engraved titles) and through the thematic radio stations.
With the DJ option, YouTube is placed directly against Spotify, which already has similar functionality, which can also create its own playlists. It remains to be seen if the quality of the comments will be there, the Spotify DJ sometimes tends to “hallucinate” and, therefore, tell the nonsense.
AI in musical transmission services is gradually starting to occupy a considerable place. These are not only pieces generated by AI, but in general, this allows you to create specific reproduction lists, only depending on the tastes of a user. A greater customization that can have consequences, to the point that certain platforms have humanized this process. This is the case with Deezer and Quobuz. The first, on the other hand, developed a robot content detector, then identifying them clearly through the pieces of the pieces.
