Users must allow the app ( check it out here) to access their Spotify data, and it will then compare recently-streamed songs to the collection of data which they’re describing as “a corpus of over two million indicators of objectively good music, including Pitchfork reviews, record store recommendations, and subreddits you’ve never heard.” bot technology “Mercilessly judges your taste in music on Spotify,” according to the media outlet’s announcement on Wednesday. If you want to be bullied by a piece of technology today, be our guest.A new app developed by the digital media website The Pudding is here to judge-and possibly troll-your streaming habits on Spotify. Spotify’s “2020 Wrapped” was all positive reinforcement, neatly packaged and made to share on social, but people who go through the dragging that is “How Bad is Your Spotify” are also sharing their results on social media to demonstrate just how hard the AI came for them. So that feels gratuitous.įinally, the AI will tell you just how bad your taste in music is, qualifying it with labels that feel oddly specific, including, but not limited to, “learns-about-rap-from-tiktok bad” or “scented-candle-and-hard-seltzer bad.”

It’ll also react to some of your most-played music asking you if you’re OK – a condition we are all very clearly not in 2020. It’ll wonder, with a disparaging air of incredulity, if you listen to certain songs. If it sees too much Taylor Swift (and let’s face it, it probably will), it’ll point that out. This bot has no patience for any of your guilty pleasures. Spotify got a big boost this year from an unexpected audience
