Most people probably don't know what a DJ really does, which is investigate, curate, and catalog a whole library of music and then tailor it to the mood of an event or crowd, moment by moment.

This is a feelings-based job that directly operates where feelings hit the body with the physics of sound and motion. Lacking either feelings or a body, there can't be an algo for a DJ.

The best thing about Sirius/XM is they pay human DJs to find and play music us mortals would never know about and to put it in contexts we'll enjoy.
