Just changed my mind about those AI playlist generators after a wild ride on Spotify

Last Tuesday I was dead set against letting an algorithm pick my workout jams, but Spotify shoved a 'Focus Flow' mix at me during a coding session and it threw in a 1989 bootleg of a Mongolian throat singer right after a lo-fi beat. Three days later I actually added the song to my library and now I'm questioning my whole anti-algorithm stance. Has anyone else had an AI recomendation that was so weird it actually worked out?

Well I let an algorithm pick my playlist and now my grandkids think I've lost my mind.

Tbh just set a daily limit on the algorithm picks and keep one old school playlist in the mix. Like I tell my own kids, you gotta let the machine surprise you sometimes but always keep a lifeline to the classics. That way your grandkids see you as adventurous but not completely gone.
