Is there a way to filter out AI artists

[shadowdream]

Hi all,

Does there happen to be a way to filter out AI artists? I keep getting them on my stations and it's driving me crazy. I thumbs down a song from the artist but get another one from the same one later. 

I don't want to mess with my station too much, because other than the AI content, I have it pretty dialed in, and I don't want it thinking I don't like the genre.

I avoid most generative AI. Not trying to start a debate. AI has legitimate uses, I am not against all of it, but I don't want my subscription pennies going toward generated music, when real artists could be getting it.

I have been a pandora listener since waaaay early on, and I am seriously considering unsubscribing if I can't make that choice.

I totally agree.  

I am a longtime Pandora user, but if I can not remove the AI garbage, I will find another solution that fits my needs better.  I even pay them for a subscription.  Amazon maybe?   Will look into that

All the platforms have been pretty lax on stopping the onslaught of AI Slop. Only one I know of that is really pushing back hard is Deezer. Tidal gave me a way to report AI tracks but not sure what happens to those reports. Most other platforms like Apple and Spotify are saying they will label AI tracks, but they don't have a great way to monitor for this and are mostly concerned with AI artists that try to impersonate another real artist and will take immediate action for those situations.

Pandora on the other hand doesn't seem to be doing ANYTHING. I reached out to support about this and their "solution" was to thumbs down a track so that person doesn't show up on your feed. But that doesn't address the problem whatsoever. I want to keep this slop from showing up on my feed in the first place and do not have time to go research every new artist that comes out. Especially when AI music releases now account for 44% of all music releases and that number is sure to keep growing.

Dude, you are really bumming me out but I thank you for your comments.  I think I will end up following you out the door with pandora.  

I am a Zappa dead rush Jennings  inxs kind of guy and I will not listen to music from a toaster.  I respect the artist.  

same goes for poetry, books, paintings and any other kind of art. That is the sole domain of  humans.  Call me old fashion
