Re: Mea Culpa – Dark Hours

> I am not buying it.

Coincidentally:

Just in the last few weeks, D'addario, one of largest guitar string manufacturers, posted on Instagram what is clearly an AI-song to advertise its new line of guitar strings.

After being called out on it being AI, they posted a mobile-recording of the song recreated in a DAW, but it didn't even match the timing or the notes played.

After being called on it AGAIN, they blamed it on LANDR and Apple Mastering "changing the notes", but those only do "AI knob tweaking", they're not generative-ai audio synthesis. LANDR itself replied.

After being called on it AGAIN, they finally caved and said one of their workers used Suno without their knowledge.

After someone contacted the worker, he said he was pretty clear in his communication with D'addario that he had used Suno.

EDIT: The worker claimed it was "his first time using AI" and "he didn't know", but after someone did some digging in his Instagram profile, there's a few Suno songs and a lot of AI posters and avatars.

This sort of ass-covering is getting crazy with AI...
