"Hello World", directed by SKYGGE (Benoît Carré) and released in 2018, is the first album composed using the Flow-Machines system, developed at the Sony Computer Science Laboratory in Paris and at Université Pierre et Marie Curie under the direction of François Pachet — who was his doctoral co-supervisor. The credits page has three separate lists, and his name appears on one of them.

• He is not among the album's artists or on the Flow-Machines research and development team, whose members the page names individually.
• He is listed by name in the acknowledgments ("Thanks also to"), alongside Jean-Pierre Briot, his doctoral supervisor, and Geber Ramalho, on the album's credits page.
• The company he founded states on its own page that the Brazilian music database it created "is used in the Flow Machines project" (https://www.daccord.com.br/quemsomos/). This database is Brazyle (2017), which AESO-Barros Melo described on October 19, 2017, as the regional counterpart to Flow Machines, coordinated by him. No source says that Brazyle was used on the album: they say it is used in the project.
• In an article dated June 15, 2023, CESAR — of which he was president — reports that in 2016 he followed the preparation of "Daddy's Car", the first pop song co-written by AI, with Pachet and Briot, and states that he later joined the project that led to the album. No other source states that he participated in the album's development, and this account comes from the institution he led: O design impulsionado pela IA generativa.
