The Spotify biography says: “Hello I am Dark… Dark Ardor I am the Alter Ego of my boring little Human…” and “All music is written by myself Joshua Lane Louthan”. It links a TikTok account and does not mention AI.

Deezer’s page for “Trouble” (Oct 22, 2026) shows the “AI-generated content” notice: “This album includes tracks detected as generated with the use of AI.” “Yes Ma’am (Forever)” (Sep 22, 2026) carries the same notice. A control album by a human act (Daft Punk, Discovery) showed no notice in the same check.
