I’m amazed people are using it. Having an AI call me by name and failing at playing any music I enjoy was equal parts creepy and pathetic.

Worked fine for me. Only issue I have is it starts to recycle itself after a while and you not only hear the same songs but in the same order.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Spotify is expanding its AI-powered “DJ” to dozens of markets globally, six months after debuting the feature in North America.
Available through the “music” feed section in the Spotify mobile app, DJ personalizes users’ listening through a curated music selection that includes spoken-word commentary powered by a synthetic voice.
The commentary includes light-hearted banter and contextual information that references specific songs and artists the user has previously listened to.
The music-streaming giant first launched DJ in the U.S. and Canada back in February, before extending the feature to the U.K. and Ireland three months later.
While DJ will remain a beta feature for the time being, it will now be available to premium subscribers in some 50 markets around the globe, including Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, Ghana, Nigeria, Pakistan, Singapore, and South Africa.
However, the vast majority of the European Union won’t have access to the feature quite yet.
