Apple Music and Spotify have new AI-based recommendation systems

Apple Music has a new feature called "Discovery Station" that "appears to play songs of a similar style to songs that are in your personal library and that you have listened to and liked in the past, but it chooses songs you don't have in playlists or your library". I wanted to try it out but I get a "not in your country" error. Lame. Over on Spotify, the AI-powered DJ feature is now available in Australia. It's "a curated music selection that includes spoken-word commentary powered by a synthetic voice. The commentary includes light-hearted banter and contextual information that references specific songs and artists the user has previously listened to". I'm listening now and it's cute, but Zane Lowe's job is safe (for now).
