Is this Billboard Hot 100 hit AI slop?

Fenix Flexin, a member of Shoreline Mafia, has achieved solo success with the track "Rubberz," which climbed to number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, the song's unexpected shift to an '80s UK synth-pop style, combined with digital audio artifacts, awkward lyrics, and unconvincing live lip-sync performances, has sparked widespread speculation that it was generated using artificial intelligence. While AI detectors for the track itself were inconclusive, accompanying art, text, and lyrics strongly suggested AI involvement. Fenix has denied these allegations, attributing vocal differences to processing tools like AutoTune, but critics remain skeptical.
