Spotify's AI DJ: Your Personal Music Matchmaker
Spotify's rolling out AI-powered playlist creation to premium users, promising to solve the "too much music, not enough curation" problem. Just type in a weirdly specific prompt like "upbeat polka for my unicorn's bar mitzvah," and voila! A tailor-made playlist appears. It's like having a psychic DJ who actually listens to your requests. While it's still in beta (so expect some "Yakety Sax" in your romantic dinner mix), this could be a game-changer for music discovery. Apple, are you taking notes? Your "Made for You" playlists could use some AI sparkle.

Figma's AI Oopsie: From Apple Copycat to "First Draft"
Remember when Figma's AI app generator got caught red-handed mimicking Apple's weather app? Well, it's back with a new name and a facelift. "First Draft" promises to be less of a copycat and more of a brainstorming buddy. With four different libraries to choose from, you can now generate anything from basic wireframes to fancier layouts. Figma swears they're not snooping on your designs, using off-the-shelf AI models instead. But let's be real - can we trust AI not to "accidentally" recreate the next big tech giant's app? Only time will tell if First Draft is truly a clean slate or just Apple imitation 2.0.

AI Replaces Software? Not So Fast, Says Industry Expert
Klarna's bold move to ditch Workday and Salesforce for AI-developed apps has tongues wagging. But hold your horses, says Brian Sommer. While AI can whip up basic code faster than you can say "Hello World," complex functions like payroll and financials might be a bridge too far. Custom solutions could lead companies down a rabbit hole of endless development and maintenance. Plus, there's the whole "getting sued for messing up paychecks" thing. Sommer suggests a middle ground: use AI for simpler tasks, but leave the heavy lifting to the pros. After all, sometimes it's better to buy than DIY – especially when it comes to keeping the taxman happy.
