  "summary": "LA rapper Fenix Flexin has reportedly admitted to using AI in the production of his song \"Rubberz.\" The Verge reports that the track, which features an 80s synth pop theme, has been the subject of controversy following producer Medasin's claims that an AI tool called Treblo (formerly Sonauto) was used to create the song. Medasin even released an AI detector that identified the track as Treblo AI-created. In a response to comments, Fenix stated that he never denied using AI, but rather clarified that it had no impact on the recording process. The story was first reported by The Verge.",
