Great analysis and matches my experience.

The AI DJ still isn't universally rolled out and so skepticism seems plentiful from people who haven't even tried it yet. I got access and agree with you — this is one of the best voice experiences I've encountered because it's personalized to your tastes, entertains, works within a narrow range (isn't trying to do too much), and builds off a familiar and well known format (radio DJs).

I really want this in the car. If only CarThing had succeeded!

Ah yes. A feature that could really have helped Car Thing!

Great point about not trying to do too much. It simply augments the experience and does not try to be the center of attention which is a mistake most tech companies would have made. Of course, Spotify knows the tech is there to serve the core product, not be the product.
