Summary
Tyga confirmed that artificial intelligence was used on his new album $tarface after online accusations that parts of the record were AI-made.
In a Vibe interview, he said AI helped supply elements such as '80s synths and a guitar solo, framing the technology as a tool artists must adapt to use.
Tyga drew a parallel to Auto-Tune, arguing that 'real artists' can incorporate new technology, while insisting the album’s writing and all vocals were his own.
$tarface had already faced scrutiny over its sound, extending a broader debate over how openly artists should disclose generative AI in music production.
