Spotify “Enhanced” is a cool feature

I just found out that you can add a few songs to a new playlist on Spotify, click the “Enhance” button, and Spotify will add songs to the playlist it thinks match the genre/vibe/musical characteristics? of the songs you added. From my brief experiments, it seems that Spotify attempts to evenly distribute genres of songs added to the playlist if the initial pool of songs consists of completely different genres. I’m really excited about this — this seems like a considerably more powerful version of Spotify Radio and an excellent playlist creation and music discovery tool. I think this is an excellent example of the advances in AI discussed by Zhengdong here.
