Did an AI Music App Just Snitch on the Song of the Summer?
Fenix Flexin’s hit song “Rubberz” has hip-hop fans arguing over whether it was generated by AI. Some say they have proof it’s machine-made, but will anyone care?
Get smart on it
A popular rap artist's summer hit song has become the center of a debate about whether it was created using artificial intelligence music generation technology. An independent music producer claimed to have identified which AI app was used and demonstrated how to create similar songs with it, while the song's creators have denied using AI and offered conflicting evidence. The AI music app's creators then released a detector tool that flagged the song as likely AI-generated, effectively confirming the accusation. The situation raises questions about whether listeners and the music industry will care if popular songs are partially or completely machine-made.
