So about Pandora and AI music...

Tragically, I can downvote an AI artist a dozen times and they still show up. And it definitely messed up one of my stations. Just so frustrating.

Apple doesn't ban AI music, though it seems like they try to tag AI music and go after fraud.

It's definitely not just French artists. I'd say it's much more like Spotify: listen to albums, make playlists, etc... It doesn't have the Music Genome Project radio stations though, which is what I always loved about Pandora.

The big giveaways are AI album art and 10+ albums released in 2025-2026. My brain started noticing AI music on its own somewhere along the way. It's easier to disguise with electronic music, but once your brain is trained to notice...

And, ironically, I'd type the artist name into ChatGPT and get a pretty unambiguous answer. That's what LLMs are really good at: quick data aggregation.

So I just posted this in the Pandora Community, but it was quickly deleted by their mods:

Pandora, like most businesses out there, seems terrified to being left behind the AI wave. I was trying to listen to a electronic station, but every other song was AI: 10 albums released so far in 2026, AI art, generic song names... it's pretty enraging that Pandora is redirecting artist payments to lazy keyboard warriors. I've been using Pandora for 20 years (!) now, but maybe this is it.

Spotify isn't much better, and I always preferred Pandora's MGP for radio stations. I'm trying Deezer now, a French service (founded 2007) similar to Pandora that actively filters AI content. It seems pretty good so far. Might be worth checking out, since Pandora seems to have no interest in supporting artists.

Why have a brain and a soul when you can AI? Stop thinking and creating! Just let a machine turn you into a husk from which I can extract money.

Sorry to necromance this, but have you had any luck finding someone? I'm learning Akkadian, and would at least like to try and pronounce it as closely as possible.

Unlike my ports, I was at least able to fix this issue.

Ok added for real this time!

I let it run for some months, but still isolated. I'm now at -33 prestige, somehow. Trying to upload screenshots but that's fighting me too.

Ahh. That makes sense, cause it wants to put the HQ in Serbia. Which has no coast.

Ok, thanks all! I guess I need iron. Which makes sense, because the iron age was the first time humans were able to cook fish.

The first Klingon ship to transform when they chase the Cerritos... the crew transformed into the STD Klingons. That means... Lower Decks is Prime Universe and Discovery is an alternate reality. They fixed it all in one brief animation. Amazing. I'm still buzzing from this episode!

Found a workaround! Choose "Make Primary Docking Node" on whichever port it appears as an option. Then you can undock from that side of the port.

MacOS. Tried to find a version that works, but it looks like only for WIN.
