So "AI" to understand the request but I wonder how much of the second playlist generation step is machine learning based or if it is just their normal playlist algorithm fed with keywords. One of the reasons I don't like streaming music services is that the automatic playlist generation produces minor variations of the same playlist based on listening history & popular songs that it's hard to break out of. I'd rather they used ML to work out that if I take a break from my normal mix of music to play one pop song for my kids, I don't want to then hear 90% pop forever more!
