Hybrid workflow with Suno, will AI drums/bass stems flag my tracks even if I play everything else?

Question:Question:

Hey everyone,

I’d like to get some realistic opinions on my specific workflow and how the new watermarking / fingerprinting might affect it.

Here’s what I actually do:

I write my own chord progressions and basic arrangements.

I feed them into Suno mainly to get a more professional-sounding drums and bass (or full accompaniment). The result is often very close to what I had in mind, but much better mixed and produced.

I extract the stems (especially drums and bass) and use them as a backing track.

On top of that, I play my own guitar parts, solos, and additional orchestration.

I sometimes upload the final result to YouTube (either as a simple album-cover video or with me playing).

So the core musical ideas and the main performances (guitar, solos, structure) are mine. Suno is mostly used as a high-quality production tool for the rhythm section / backing.

My question is:

Even if the drums and bass come from Suno (and therefore carry the watermark/fingerprint), will the whole track or YouTube video still be likely flagged or labeled as AI-generated / Partly GenAI?

Has anyone here been in a similar situation (using Suno mainly for drums/bass stems + heavy human overdubs) and seen how detection or labeling behaves, especially after the recent watermarking announcement?

Thanks for any real-world feedback.
