What's this? What does GDPR have to do with it?

I’m guessing Spotify users in the EU can request an export of their data that Spotify holds. And this tool is for analyzing that data export locally.

That is correct.

For those wondering where to request the data export. The data request form is located here: https://www.spotify.com/account/privacy/

And ChatGPT is good at adding comments along the way in the code, so when they do a new dump from GitHub they have way better training data

I already find original ChatGPT (free version based on GPT-3.X) being "smarter" than Bing's one based on GPT-4. The latter much easier gives up just saying that it could not find anything, while ChatGPT replies based on its "knowledge" even on quite advanced science questions. Having a LLM trained on content generated by other LLM may be a way for disaster in future: filtering true from false (but convincing) information on scale would be hard to say the least. In light of recent troubles with Internet Archive, AI companies, like OpenAI, are of the beneficiaries of the Internet history "made on Earth by humans" :)

I think Bing Chat’s safety features makes it very neutered. Lately I’ve been enjoying using Bard more due to its longer answers by default.

You want longer responses? One of my problems with chat gpt is its tendency to use too many words for no good reason. Most of it is just filler imho

You cant prevent an LLM from having a hallucination.

The current state of the art is retrieval + summarization, all that knowledge it was trained on still exists. When performing a search having no reference for the knowledge is a decent signal that it may not exist at all and you may be talking to a liar.

Feels abit creepy they have the "mood" and location in a database.

Not sure what you mean, Spotify tracks have long exposed "features" that include various metrics to judge mood. https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/referenc... Also it's pretty apparent since Spotify suggests different playlists depending on time of day, weather, etc.

Do they only judge a song's mood, or do they judge the listener's mood and store that alongside the location?
