https://arstechnica.com/google/2025/09/youtube-music-is-testing-ai-hosts-that-will-interrupt-your-tunes/AI 'host' will chime in while you're listening to music. Yes, really." (YouTube says the AI aims to "deepen your listening experience"...)The "Beyond the Beat" host will break in every so often with relevant stories, trivia, and commentary about your musical tastes. YouTube says this feature will appear when you are listening to mixes and radio stations. The experimental feature is intended to be a bit like having a radio host drop some playful banter while cueing up the next song. It sounds a bit like Spotify's AI DJ, but the YouTube AI doesn't create playlists like Spotify's robot...After joining, the YouTube Music app will get a new button on the Now Playing screen with the familiar Gemini sparkle logo. Tapping that will allow you to snooze the commentary for an hour or the remainder of the day. >There is no option to completely disable the AI host in the app.
Google can't die soon enough
>>517407477imagine PAYING for your music service to interrupt you. This shit is made specifically for people on the edge to go fucking insane.
>>517407477>you can't opt out
Goy
I think that's pretty cool
>>517407477why does jewtube want to have the masses learn to write browser extensions?
>>517407477you will eat ze ads and you will consumeeee
>>517407477The simple answer is to download music and build your own collection
>>517407477>push people to use yt music app so you can escape from ads>get other annoyance insteadDiabolical.
>>517408406it's like MTV but made of SLOP
>>517407477And Then One Day For No Reason At All
>>517408536which is illegal
>>517408644So what?
>>517407477Soulseek still works. Torrenting works. Start downloading your tunes now if you don't already have a library
>>517408644Not if you train an AI with the music you download. Then it's legal.
>>517407477This unironically sounds cool.
>>517408735cunning
>don’t worry about having no DJ’s >or VJ’s>we’ve got A.I.J’s now… Hell world. Actual hell world. https://youtu.be/IoxJkbAu9mw
>>517407477Can't wait for the mp3 player retro phase woohoo
>>517408759
>>517407477Thats for the test run you have to opt into idiot.>I loaded google labs>I signed up for the Ai host>why can't I permanently turned off the thing I signed up for that I asked to test for a period of time?
>>517409128they're testing it because they're planning on implementing it.>pic not related
>>517407477Isn't it a funny cohencidence that all these tech companies started going to COMPLETE shit as soon as they got taken over by Indians?
>>517407477Spotify already does this with their nigger AI dj.>And now up nex dis sum oldies from da 70sI don't think you can even change it. They really do have to put niggers in absolutely everything. I assume youtube will be no different
>>517407477Ain't gonna lie, it does sound cool, but only if I can host the model myself and have it work with my own (pirated) music collection
>>517408953Xmplay , the best 500kb I've ever downloaded
Theyve been obnoxious with the ads lately too. Used to be two ads between songs but now the song starts and will cut to an add before the drop or chorus.
>>517410337>Used to be two ads between songs but now the song starts and will cut to an add before the drop or chorus.Why the fuck is anyone using that?
>>517407477>The "Beyond the Beat" host will break in every so often with relevant stories, trivia, and commentary about your musical tastes. YouTube says this feature will appear when you are listening to mixes and radio stations.This will drive people back to physical media, because nobody wants to listen to a fucking radio DJ>t. a fucking radio DJ lmao
>>517407477What's wrong with that fucking faggot company?
>>517407477I like how AI (LLM slop) has no practical, organic use-case so the megacorps that have sunk 10s of billions into it need to force it into everything in their possession to boost """engagement""" metricsThe NVDA bubble can't pop soon enough
>>517407477sounds like they must be making a lot of money off the ai so far
>>517409563based bonks enjoyer
>>517407477>and now for this next song, while it did well on the charts it was written by a bigotted christian songwriter
how do I disable the Mixes feature where youtube immediately creates a playlist based on what I was watching?Please tell me it doesn't involve creating a youtube account
>>517412547>ustaša thinks he can adjust modern slop like he could a decado agoWew, lad
>>517407477>in which Youtube retards get confused by the death of radioWE. HATE. FUCKING. RADIO. HOSTS.Shut the FUCK up and play music.
>>517407715I really hoped the jeet death bill would destroy google and microsoft but Trump is just a massive useless cuckold and made it completely toothless.
>>517410552>Sigh>I am required to interject here, per my job description.>Blame "owner name.">reads the rest as rapidly as possibleYou fuckin' better be shitposting on air.
>>517407477>YouTube says this feature will appear when you are listening to mixes and radio stations.i always block mixes and i dont listen to radio stations.
>>517407477Good thing I download the music I listen to like a fucking boomer
>>517407477I haven’t used YouTube in months. I wonder how long it will be before it’s mandatory to use YouTube.
Does it also try to sneak ai slop into your playlists like Spotify?
>>517413433Never the idea with the kike susan wojicki ruining youtube and then handing the bag off to pajeets is so that you will abandon youtube for twitch. because youtube has free speech in the comment section that is sort of backed into the cake, they want youtube to fail so we are corralled to twitch which is moderated heavily to be as gay and jewish as humanly possible
>>517413718>that is sort of backed into the cake,baked*
>>517412547RYS on Firefox used to keep YouTube on a tight leash. I haven't installed it since they implemented that garbage.
>>517407477Reminds me of the new refrigerator which runs ads. Can't turn them off; and the company expects customers to pay $3000 for the privilege
>>517407477I can't be the only one on the pol who uses youtube_vanced. No adsNo bsFull controllCan download everythingSkip built in ad readsIt just works, fuck them.
>>517407477>now we can hear 911 propaganda disclaimers over Christopher Bollyn presentationsWhy hasn't Pakistan nuked Tel Aviv yet?
>>517407477You're lying, it's a opt in program and totally optional. fuck off faggot
I listen to the same song 500 times in a row to get into/keep a certain mood going.We don't need D.J.'s where I'm going.
>>517413846Unfortunately no comments and my ADHD ass needs something to read while I listen
>>517408240This entire reality is that. We can't opt out. Theyre harvesting our data to geeerate more realities anp predict the future
>>517408644Wow, I better not download any music then thanks for the warning
>>517408644So? Ripping music from youtube will never die because some NEET coder will always outdo the jeets Alphabet employs.
>>517408759You could be gayer, I'm sure. I just can't think of how.
>>517414487kek
>>517407477>app>YouTube MusicNot my problem.99% chance this "feature" will be utterly abhorred, lose paying subscribers, and then be quietly removed.
>>517414264>Hello Mr. Shekelberg I'm here to opt out
>>517408644yeah well being gay used to be illegal too yet here you are
>>517410220Those old 90s programs really hit different don't they?
>>517410220Currently using MusicBee over here, also pretty good.
>>517407477The lengths they will go to to perpetuate the AI bubble... They know if it pops the market will get a full reset. They have only two choices>keep the AI bubble going>get a new, even bigger one
>>517409563>the way they're planning on implementing it in general use is going to be identical to the test.
>>517415193And it's still getting updates
>>517415652That's awesome. Good rec, thanks.
>>517407477Shit like this is why I stopped paying for any and all media services, set up an NAS, and resumed downloading anything I want to watch or listen to.
