Did a little experimenr using my friends Amazon Music account and Alexa, was curiouswhat was played and if AI was involved. to put it in context my friend mainly listens to alt females like Ethel Cain, Julien Baker, Fiona Apple and doesnt follow current music, didnt know who Ed sheeran or Alex Warren are…

Alexa play music:

1 Alex Warren- Ordinary, 2 Ed wSheeran- Sapphire, 3 AlexWarren - Eternity

Alexa play music to chill in the sofa:

1 Alex Warren-ordinary, 2 Bruno mars-Apt, 3 Chappel - Pink pony club, 4 Ed sheeran-Sapphire, 5 Alex Warren-Carry you home

Alexa play background music for studying

1 Alex Warren-ordinary, 2 Tones&I- Dance monkey 3 Chappel-The giver 4 Alex Warren-Eternity

So my conclusions… doesnt seem to be based on what you normally listen… seems random and not 100% fit, I mean, Dance Monkey and The Giver as study songs!! And also very biased for the same artists, 6/12 (50%) being Alex Warren!!

Overall, autoplay on Spotify seems much better at least plays related music, this is too random

And too biased

Alex Warren transcends all moods.

Alexa play Alex

My biggest takeaway here is that they'd never heard of Ed Sheeran 🤯

Never was a fan of Alexa's algorithm at all. Something about it always seems off. LOL

(Also not mentioning ROSÉ in 'APT.' is like not mentioning Mark Ronson in 'Uptown Funk'. My pet peeves are being slightly tested. 🫣)
