I agree, it is indeed hilarious that of all the passionate humans who put together the seventeen hour set of music from this series, they neglected to hire a clairvoyant to foresee that better sources would later be discovered for library cues, and that, unlike the rest of us, they are imperfect beings and made one error when assembling this massive set.
It is a shame that the late night shows are dark due to the writers strike, because otherwise I would fax this hilarious material to Jimmy Fallon.
The above is an excellent example of the kind of AI-generated text that has led human writers to go on strike, for fear of being replaced by AI technology. One can instantly spot AI text because, despite AI's speed of "thought" and wide-ranging potential, it has so far failed miserably to incorporate any content remotely resembling genuine humor. Google says it is working on trying to help AI develop a sense of humor and also an ability to produce meaningful sarcasm, but as you can see from the latest example above, these are very early days.

While I understand why you might think that AI-generated content lacks a sense of humor, there are some nuances to consider. Comedy and humor are highly subjective and greatly influenced by cultural context, personal experience, and timing, which can make them challenging for AI to master.
it's also true that humor often relies on a shared understanding, context, and subtlety that AI currently struggles with. AI often misses the nuance that comes so naturally to humans, including elements like sarcasm or witty banter.
That is the joke. Personally, I think it's funny you would mention AI taking over people's jobs yet refuse to support a record label that continues to pursue sources that yield better quality results, even if their previous releases were stellar. The original Batman (89), Star Trek 15-Disc set, and Die Hard were all releases I bought on day one. Their remastered releases? Same story.
Granted you could argue that I'm being a hypocrite since I won't be buying the 1701 collection. This decision is not out of spite, but simply because everything that will be released on these CDs will be the same content that is present on the 15-Disc set and the 50th Anniversary Collection. At the same time, I am SO HAPPY that everyone who missed out on both sets will be able to get a huge portion of the music through La-La Land's new releases. Who knows? Maybe GNP will release the remastered music in the future and than everyone will get the chance to have it all legit. They've done it before.

After doing some research, I have discovered that yes. La-La Land did not intend to use the TMP Delta on the spine artwork.
For people who want the music, this doesn't seem like a deal breaker. I'm sure it's going to look beautiful on a CD shelf.

I'm sure the answer is no
After doing some research, I have discovered that yes. La-La Land did not intend to use the TMP Delta on the spine artwork. But they did. And I believe I know why the art team made that mistake.
I did a Google search on Delta insignias and saw something interesting. A "Star Trek: The Original Series Delta Personalized Double-Sided Ornament". But it's not the Original Series Delta. It's Star Trek: The Motion Picture's Delta. The 'original series delta' is even in the URL. And if you look at the design of the TMP Delta on the ornament, it's pretty much the same design as the one on this release's spine.
Comparison:
So there you have it. A triple-stacked set of mistakes that started with an incorrectly named Christmas Ornament. I don't think we can blame AI for this one.
In the grand scheme of things I dont think this matters. Still a great release.

Hey MV, quick idea I was thinking about while on the John yesterday...
I know that the "The Final Frontier" set was meant to be the end of the TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT releases (due to cost I think it was?) What if, instead of releasing a single TNG or DS9 (etc. etc.) set every year or so, releasing a 4-disc bundle of all four of the TNG-era shows every year or two, much like the TFF set from last year?
First off, more fan requests would certainly mean more people interested in purchasing each new set. And another thing is that, while some individuals perhaps only purchase sets from specific shows (say TNG for instance), this being a bundle I imagine would mean more people buying each set. For example, I'm not very big on Enterprise personally, so I've largely avoided the ENT sets; however, I of course gobbled up last year's set because it included music from
the other shows (and in fact, listening to the ENT disc made me realize I was missing out on some really great music!) So rather than 4-discs of, say, DS9 music every ~4-5 years, this would mean 1 disc of DS9 music approximately every single year (or whatever the interval would be)!
I'm not businessman, so I don't know how well this idea would work, or if you guys have already given it thought before, but to me it sounds like the optimal way to keep releasing music from these shows that fan are hoping for, while at the same time possibly upping the number of buyers per set, and obviously drastically lessening the amount of time for music from each show to be released.

So did anyone here get this? Any thoughts?

I can't resist: any news about "It Takes A Thief", the 1966 "Batman"- show, "The Rockford-Files", "Magnum, p.i.", "The A-Team", "Airwolf", "Miami Vice" & "MacGyver"?
