D’Addario admitted using Suno AI to regenerate a track in a promotional video for new guitar strings. The video, posted on July 29, sparked criticism after listeners noticed differences between the final audio and the Logic session files. The company initially denied employing generative AI, attributing the sound to other software tools. After a review, it edited its Instagram post, stating that Suno Studio was used to recreate the original track and apologizing for the inaccurate information. D’Addario said it does not support AI-generated music and will require disclosure of AI use by employees and creative partners. The admission follows recent comments by Fender’s CEO comparing bandmates to analog AI. The controversy highlights ongoing scrutiny of artificial intelligence in creative content.
