Nigerian disc jockey and producer, DJ Neptune, has raised concerns about the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence in music, warning that it could soon replace human music producers.
His reaction follows a similar claim by media personality N6, who had earlier predicted that AI could disrupt the entire music production and mastering industry.
DJ Neptune recounted a recent experience where he was impressed by a song sent to him for review. According to him, he was so convinced by the quality that he advised the sender to sign the supposed artiste, only to later discover that the track was created using AI.
N6 had written via X, “AI is Quietly about to retire the entire music production and mastering Industry. I have seen scary tinz tonight. God help all of us in this ecosystem.”
