Why is Apple Music SO BAD at understanding musical style when creating a radio station based on a single song? It’s frustrating and makes me want to stop using the service.
Here’s an example: I ask it to create a radio station based on “Tiny Dancer” by Elton John. And Apple Music’s so-called supreme intelligence comes up with this sequence: “Under Pressure” (Queen), “New Rules” (Dua Lipa), “Perfect” (Ed Sheeran), “Your Song” (Elton John), “Smooth Criminal” (MJ)…
WHAT THE %#^*+= IS THE LOGIC BEHIND THIS SEQUENCE? And why does this keep happening? How can this experience be improved? My experience with Apple Music has been very frustrating!!!! It’s always like this!
For comparison, I asked ChatGPT to create a radio station based on “Tiny Dancer.” It understood exactly the kind of musical experience I was looking for:
Tiny Dancer — Elton John
Just the Way You Are — Billy Joel
Dreams — Fleetwood Mac
Ventura Highway — America
Piano Man — Billy Joel
Peaceful Easy Feeling — Eagles
The Logical Song — Supertramp
My Sweet Lord — George Harrison
The River — Bruce Springsteen
Your Song — Elton John
Based on just one song, ChatGPT understood the FEELING I wanted the music to evoke.
Lately, I’ve been absolutely fed up with Apple Music because of how TERRIBLE the user experience has become!
