I tried out the new "Personal DJ" mix on Spotify last week and bounced when the way over the top AI voice stated my username as a part of the most cringe inducing intro. The feature was awful and there wasn't even any notion of fast-forwarding through the bad parts. 0/10. Will not try again.

I agree so much with this. I was excited for the feature until the first 10 seconds. I don't want a fake DJ "talking to me" or attempting to emulate a radio DJ. It's not like all I have to look at is a dial with numbers on it. I can see all the details of what you're playing, thanks. Shut up and just let me see if I like what you think I'll like, enough that it makes me feel that your recommendations won't be immediate rejections. Or just have the dumb AI talk to me about it, so I know that I absolutely do not want to use the feature. sigh

0/10 indeed
