YouTube has a new Labs program, allowing listeners to “discover the next generation of YouTube.” In case you were wondering, that generation is apparently all about AI. The streaming site says Labs will offer a glimpse of the AI features it’s developing for YouTube Music, and it starts with AI “hosts” that will chime in while you’re listening to music. Yes, really.<\/p>\n

The new AI music hosts are supposed to provide a richer listening experience, according to YouTube<\/a>. As you’re listening to tunes, the AI will generate audio snippets similar to, but shorter than, the fake podcasts you can create in NotebookLM. The “Beyond the Beat” host will break in every so often with relevant stories, trivia, and commentary about your musical tastes. YouTube says this feature will appear when you are listening to mixes and radio stations.<\/p>\n

The experimental feature is intended to be a bit like having a radio host drop some playful banter while cueing up the next song. It sounds a bit like Spotify’s AI DJ,<\/a> but the YouTube AI doesn’t create playlists like Spotify’s robot. This is still generative AI, which comes with the risk of hallucinations and low-quality slop, neither of which belongs in your music. That said, Google’s Audio Overviews are often surprisingly good in small doses.<\/p>\n
