Spotify has collected user "skip data". That is a massive dataset. They have research to try to train AI to generate audio that humans are less likely to skip.
These results seem a bit more midi based, and I would assume that the models they generate would work on raw audio, so doesn't seem like a perfect fit.
Though, in general, it must be tempting for Spotify researchers to test their creations on their customers.
(Note: I do not believe it is ethical to collect skip data, or any data from customers and use it to train AI without a very steep OPT-IN process. Burying some legal disclaimers in wall of signup jargon is a terrible practice.)
