- Song credits name Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor, an obscure figure linked to another AI project, with no independently verified human performer identified.
- Billboard has recently tracked more AI or AI‑assisted artists entering its rankings, and Breaking Rust previously debuted at No. 9 on the Emerging Artists chart.
