I am curious to understand how personalisation is taking place? If I type a prompt 'generate soft music for me', how will the output be different for me compared to someone else who uses the same prompt.
I believe when I am typing the prompt, it has not connected with my Spotify hence will not give more personalised jam based on my liked songs.
Let me know if I am missing something in my understanding.
Personalization is only based on your prompt. How unique the prompt is defines how unique the playlist is. On principle, we want users to volunteer their uniqueness rather than extract it by some other means.
Jams isn't about red tape, so we've avoided auth for now. We may add a "Connect with your Spotify" option later on so that a user can own the playlist that Jams created and edit to their liking. At that point it may be possible to connect personalized Spotify data (ie liked songs) to Jams' model, with user consent.
"1950s jazz" gave good results apart from Louis Armstrong singing What a Wonderful World" - neither 1950s nor jazz.
and
"songs about explorers and conquerers" (something I've been into lately)
Neither was very good..
Seemed more to hit on the theme, but none of the songs were really "about" the things I asked for.
It did a good job with "pop punk with a little bit of metal and screamo" though.
I tried your prompts and agree that the playlists aren't getting after what I hear when I hear that prompt. Jams seems to think "explorers and conquerors" are rock ballads and indie folk, which is a little off.
I retooled the prompt to "epic songs about historical conquerors, adventurous. include historical folk songs about conquerors as well." The result (below) seemed more in-line with my intuitive take on the prompt. This is all bound to improve over time as Jams get smarter.
