Overview
- A viral technical takedown by producer Medasin showed a snippet filename referencing Sonauto (Treblo’s former name) and demonstrated how Treblo can reproduce the song’s vocal style, triggering renewed scrutiny of authorship.
- Fenix Flexin has denied using AI and posted a Pro Tools project walkthrough meant to prove manual creation, but critics remained unconvinced and the video was later deleted.
- Independent analyses, including a detailed breakdown in The Verge, identified audio artifacts — brittle hi‑hats, cut‑off reverb tails, and low‑bitrate sounding backing vocals — that experts say are commonly found in generative‑music output.
- Treblo released a classifier that labeled the publicly available Rubberz file as “very likely Treblo,” and a co‑founder acknowledged someone used the model to find a popular sound, which together strengthen but do not absolutely prove the AI link.
- The episode highlights gaps in forensic certainty and disclosure: it raises questions about chart eligibility, royalty reporting, and the need for clear provenance standards as AI tools make commercially successful tracks easier to produce.
