Artists & culture
King Willonius wrote the joke before AI started singing
BBL Drizzy began with a comedian's premise and lyrics, then passed through more than 100 Udio versions and a human decision about which one carried the joke.
Randy Travis's synthetic vocal began with another singer
Where That Came From combined James Dupré's guide performance, two archive-trained Travis models, months of manual editing and the artist's own approval.

R² makes AI part of the live instrument, not a finished track
Reinier Zonneveld’s festival project puts a model trained on his own archive inside an unpredictable stage system.
Tyga confirms AI was used on $TARFACE — but not how much
