Has anyone tried this? Gotten anything good out of it?

I like Japanese rock. Peak Japanese rock, IMO, is ONE OK ROCK and Survive Said The Prophet. 1OR might not be the best choice because most of their lyrics are in English (and they moved to the US like 10 years ago, it might even be more accurate to call them a California band), but they are my favourite band, so there it is.

So here's the prompt I gave it: "Songs that sound like they're by ONE OK ROCK or Survive Said The Prophet but not including songs by either. Any language is fine and less than half of the playlist should be in English."

It thought about it for a minute and gave me a playlist of nothing but MAN WITH A MISSION songs. 23 of them. All by them. No one else.

You can clarify, so I did! The clarification prompt was, "Also have it feature no more than two songs by any one artist or band."

It gave me FOUR songs, two by MAN WITH A MISSION and two by MY FIRST STORY.

MY FIRST STORY's singer is, IIRC, the brother of someone in ONE OK ROCK, so that's kind of cheating.

MAN WITH A MISSION is a good choice and would have been fine for the playlist to start there, but there are so many good choices, and if MY FIRST STORY were a good choice, why not feature them on the initial playlist?

You might have better luck with pop music or rap music, which seems to be all Apple promotes these days. But I expected more from this.
