Speaking in agreement with media personality N6, who had earlier raised similar concerns, DJ Neptune recounted a surprising experience. According to him, he was recently impressed by a song sent to him for review and even suggested that the sender should sign the artist behind it only to later discover that the track was entirely created using AI.

N6 had earlier taken to X (formerly Twitter) to express his worries, stating that AI is quietly on track to disrupt the entire music production and mastering space, adding that what he had seen recently was both shocking and unsettling.

Reacting, DJ Neptune said the situation is already becoming real. He explained that after listening to the track, he genuinely believed it was the work of a talented human artist, but was stunned when he was told it was AI-generated.

Naija Street Matters reports that AI is increasingly gaining ground in music creation, with both emerging and established artists, producers, and sound engineers now using AI-powered tools to improve beats, vocals, and overall sound quality.

As a result of this shift, the Recording Academy has updated its guidelines, allowing songs that include AI elements to qualify for the Grammy Awards — provided there is still a significant level of human input involved.

Despite this, debates continue within the industry, as many creatives argue that music should remain human-driven, raising concerns about originality, authenticity, and ownership in the age of AI.
