congrats to everyone for thinking this through before signing very big contracts to put it on every student’s device at the school or university you run

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 πŸ¦‡."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

Why are people saying "this is not normal" over and over again, instead of "this is illegal" or "this is unconstitutional" or "this is treason?" Not normal sounds subjective, wishy-washy and neurotic. It communicates nothing of substance.

Did you know there was once a domestic cat constellation? 'Felis' was created by French astronomer Joseph JΓ©rΓ΄me LefranΓ§ois de Lalande in 1799, but the International Astronomical Union dumped Felis when they created their official constellation boundaries in 1930. www.ianridpath.com/startales/fe...

Grey kitten on a hopelessly inadequate perch. His front and back legs are overflowing the edge, and his tail hanging down. He is reproachful.
