there's no way AI could do that vocal layering and have it sound that good

Cant believe my purple psychedelic pimp slap
And I descend from grace, In arms of undertow
I will take my place, In the great below

I really hope it's not AI it's great, 95% sure it's not

Hopefully this will be on the new album. I have strong feeling it will be, hence why it's been leaked.

Sounds nice. I’d like to hear the whole thing.

If this is AI, we may as well give up. But I don’t think AI is anywhere near to creating.

There may or may not be something coming!

that keyboard preset is definitely a choice for 2014 LOL

Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now!

AI is now definitely able to create a song like this one including the vocals harmonies.

So...given the way this has been leaked, I'd say it's 90% fake.

Feels real to me, but who knows these days? 🤷‍♂️

Reply #13 posted 05/10/26 12:57pm

If so, there will be, at some point, some kind of confirmation by a reliable source.
Until then, I will believe it's fake.

What about it makes you think it's fake.

I don't know much about the capabilities of AI but when I heard this Dick, I thought straight away it was dodgy

It sounded like him but there was just something about it that made me think it's AI

Reply #15 posted 05/10/26 2:13pm

Idk, it's more a feeling and as I said the fact that AI can come up with such a song now.
Also, it's a YT leak with no context at all given. Most of the leaks we've had could be confirmed quite quickly. This one has not been authenticated yet.
And honestly, I don't feel it. I'd like to be proven wrong though.

IMHO it's not AI at all. It is a song that do not "mimic" Prince, unlike the AI songs I have heard on Youtube

Reply #17 posted 05/10/26 2:58pm

The piano playing doesn't sound like him at all.

I had similar thoughts about how it's leaked. It's strange it's on YouTube and they only have 1 video.

the rhythmic use of chords is not so different from other songs like 1010

As I said, I'll believe it's legit once it's been confirmed. I'll be glad to be proven wrong.

I don’t think it’s AI this time, but in a few years it’ll be much harder to tell the difference.

I thought the same. Something off, but vocals sound like him.

This Dick and Ubeknownst 2 U are very similar in one very important way

Just as you'd have to be mentally retarded to think This Dick was real, you would have to be mentally retarded to think Unbeknownst 2 U is fake.

If this is proven wrong I will leave this forum and never post again.

Who would have been the engineer on this, if it is from 2014?

I think it's real. PVault dates it anywhere between 88 and 2001 so I'm curious to know what the source is for it being a 2014 track.

Either way I really like it and would love to hear the full track as it sounds like it fades out and could be longer

I'm guessing the AI messed up the latter part so it was faded

Bitch this ain't the movies

No need to insult anyone. Nor to leave this forum especially when there are already too few fans left here. Time will tell anyway.

We live in an era where everyone should be waiting for a second source/confirmation before taking anything for granted. Believe me, we're getting very close (if we're not there already) to the point when no one will be able to tell what's real and what's not.
