Lorde Criticizes Spotify's New AI-Generated Song Summary Feature
Singer Lorde publicly criticized Spotify's new AI-powered 'About The Song' feature, which generates summaries of songs for users. In a social media post, she shared a screenshot of an inaccurate AI summary for a track she was listening to, arguing that it limits free interpretation and detracts from the listening experience. She called for an opt-out option for artists. Spotify responded, stating the feature is in beta and aims to provide background stories for fans, adding that inaccuracies are quickly corrected. The article also recalls Adele's successful 2022 request to remove the shuffle button from album pages to preserve intended track order.
