In my experience, I could choose like, Steve Lacy radio from the song list, and it won't give me anything that sounds like Steve Lacy. It'll give me music that people who like Steve Lacy also like.
But, if I ask the DJ for music like Steve Lacy, I'll get music like Steve Lacy.
I think the LLM basically has a much better semantic understanding of music and how it sounds than the traditional like-based algorithms.
I do agree with you on the base DJ, it just jumps between homogenous blocks, but the impressive thing is asking the DJ for a certain kind of music.
