Amazon debuts a generative AI-powered playlist feature

Amazon Music has announced a generative AI-powered playlist feature. Enter a prompt (which can include emoji) and Maestro will try to find songs that match it.

Amazon suggests you might ask Maestro to whip up a playlist of songs that sound like the robot emoji (in which case you'll probably hear a bunch of Daft Punk tracks). Other prompts the company suggests include "😭 and eating 🍝," "Make my 👶 a genius," "Myspace era hip-hop" and, bizarrely, "Music my grandparents made out to." As things stand, Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers can listen to Maestro playlists instantly and save them for later (or share them with friends).
