Meet your AI Spotify DJ — New Yorker DJ X
New Yorkers may not recognize Xavier “X” Jernigan walking past him on the street in Brooklyn — but they might do a double take if they heard him talking.
“I’m your friend that’s a little cooler than you, but not too cool to hang out with you. Listeners feel a human connection with me,” X told The Post.The AI DJ has been rolled out to the streamer’s 239 million premium subscribers, where each user becomes a radio audience of one.We got a hotel room for free — but we were unprepared for these sleeping arrangements
Spotify feeds its AI model with recordings of X chatting about today’s top hits and up-and-coming artists to train the technology to replicate his speech patterns — winding up with a synthetic “X” that will be able to speak to individual users, giving each listener a wholly customized listening experience.“That’s the power of music. That’s the power of culture. It makes you feel something,” he added.
“The DJ is a personalized AI guide that knows you and your music taste so well that it can choose what to play for you,” Spotify. “This feature … will deliver a curated lineup of music alongside commentary around the tracks and artists we think you’ll like in a stunningly realistic voice.” While the AI DJ pulls from X’s upbeat and cool attitude and his extensive knowledge of music and culture — some of this gathered pre-Spotify during his time working at major label records, including Def Jam Records and Republic Records — the program is bigger than him.
