I like it, I listen to it frequently. it often surfaces music that I forgot about that I had on repeat a while ago, kind of like a discover weekly but with a higher density of... certified bangers, and fewer skips.

the voice and "personality" of DJ X is annoying but it's infrequent enough that I can live with it. my only gripe is that in longer sessions, he tends to play music I have no interest in, e.g. "what's hot right now" - my library is 10k+, I would have hoped he wouldn't run out of material and resort to current top 10 country or something.

Got it. Thanks! Are you more in a leanback listening mode or do you have stronger expectations when it comes tu music curation by the AI?
I'm probably more of an active listener most of the time, where I'll alt-tab or hotkey or whatever to skip or change playlist if I'm not vibing. I'd want super high quality playlist curation in terms of taste and variety if I were to listen to an AI DJ/generated playlist. I like Spotify's new mix feature, been using that with my own playlists and have been enjoying that so far.
