If you want to be bullied by a piece of technology today, be our guest.

Spotify’s “2020 Wrapped” was all positive reinforcement, neatly packaged and made to share on social, but people who go through the dragging that is “How Bad is Your Spotify” are also sharing their results on social media to demonstrate just how hard the AI came for them. Some say tough love is the best kind of love, and this Spotify AI is evidence of thatkind of. So that feels gratuitous.įinally, the AI will tell you just how bad your taste in music is, qualifying it with labels that feel oddly specific, including, but not limited to, “learns-about-rap-from-tiktok bad” or “scented-candle-and-hard-seltzer bad.” It’ll also react to some of your most-played music asking you if you’re OK – a condition we are all very clearly not in 2020. It’ll wonder, with a disparaging air of incredulity, if you listen to certain songs. > sinatra-mug-shot-poster-in-your-dorm-room bad > silent.

If it sees too much Taylor Swift (and let’s face it, it probably will), it’ll point that out. Your spotify was jazz-everyones-heard-of-jazz-flex-tj-maxx-christmas-soundtrack bad. This bot has no patience for any of your guilty pleasures. Spotify got a big boost this year from an unexpected audience
