Spotify already has an AI chat bot inside, where you can tell it what music you'd like to listen to in plain language.

And that's the issue, each app maker will simply integrate AI themselves with their proprietary API rather than allowing ChatGPT to take their lunch.

I give you that Spotify integration isn’t the worst idea, but perhaps more as an additional interface than a full replacement. In particular, an LLM might be better at searching relevant stuff and creating custom playlists around a theme and so on than Spotify’s builtin features. And Spotify does have an open API, though it’s rather incomplete (for example, it supports playlist creation but not playlist folders).

Discovery I can see benefiting from AI, but surely using an agent to control basic playback would be a profligate waste of resources?!
