The Verge AI · rss · 2026-08-12
After weeks of controversy and denial, prominent guitar string manufacturer D'Addario has finally admitted to using AI music generation tool Suno in a recent promotional video.
Previously, despite mounting evidence, the company offered various explanations to cover it up, attributing the digital noise to low-quality exports, plugins like Autotune, and AI-assisted mastering tools from LANDR and Logic. The company has now edited its original denial post from July 29th, admitting that those previous statements were wrong.
