YouTube Music Tests AI Hosts for Trivia and Commentary
Google is experimenting with AI hosts in its YouTube Music app, similar to a radio DJ.
These AI hosts will provide trivia and commentary while you listen to music.
The feature is part of Google's new YouTube Labs program, where they test new AI features.
However, because the information is AI-generated, it may not always be accurate.
The feature will only be available for mixes and radio stations and will initially roll out to a limited number of US users.
Users can choose to temporarily silence the AI commentary.
