       @jesusmargar @johncarlosbaez I think this is a widely discussed feature Google has been pretty open about, but the tone of the Wired article is affected by it maybe being the authors first awareness of it.  You can find plenty of articles on Google’s semantic search updates to SERP and how marketing can use it. Although I am pretty sure their implementation is not directly a substitution as described, that’s probably a fine, workable mental model on what to expect. I think it’s clear it was a feature intended to increase revenue, and it changes the results of the search towards that end.

       @killyourfm @EposVox I am not clear how they distinguish tracks that are “just white noise” versus classic noise artists like Merzbow, Massonna, Fe-Mail, or what have you. There are a lot of atmospheric black metal, sludge, old school industrial, and other genre pieces that consist predominantly in various kinds of white noise and distorted tonality too. Is there someone going through their catalog and evaluating whether something is “real” music?I abandoned Spotify a while back. Doesn’t sound like they’re doing any better…
