Why Sonic Depths instead of streaming platforms & AI?
Music holds a powerful emotional aspect that algorithms don't get. A person who genuinely immerses themselves in music can provide a more enhanced listening experience compared to a playlist generated crafted solely by AI.
AI-generated playlists excel at handling a specific genre or mood. However, it lacks the ability to comprehend the need for a narrative and seamless flow to achieve a focused state of concentration. AI falls short in storytelling and struggles to weave sounds or moods into a coherent, smooth sequence. It also faces challenges in navigating diverse styles and recognizing unexpected connections between genres, artists, or songs.
