Amazon Music's AI struggles with artist recommendations and conflation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Amazon Music's music personalization and artist identification features are significantly flawed, according to a user's experience. The platform struggles to recommend relevant artists based on user selections, with its suggestions falling far short of what even small LLMs like Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite or Claude Haiku 4.5 could provide.
