my opinion , its not demonic if they are telling you to love jesus .

The songs aren't saying anything of the sort. What they're saying is "find:prince lyrics, if:theme.repeat >1, +new.song; print;". The songs are gobblydegook. You give the AI a prompt and sooner or later it will give you a Prince song about apocalyptic bananas flying out of his girlfriend's fanny on the 17th of June.

Every time I see Prince-related AI slop I can't help but imagine what he'd say if he was here and asked about it in an interview, and the one word reply I imagine: demonic.

my opinion , its not demonic if they are telling you to love jesus . One of the songs is Jesus is the one.

and more heaven type songs are on there also. And if you dive deeper into this channel, you will find another album called "Funk Bible"

That to me also has legit songs . Maybe whoever made this, is just tired of waiting around for the estate to grow a pair and release the real music .

I for one am really diggin this channel

Ai or not , its still Prince's voice and it sounds spot on to me

dive deeper , check out Electric Touch . That reminds of Electric intercourse, comes with the screams and wailing guitars

simply amazing. I am diggin this Ai stuff

your so worried about if "this dick" is real or fake , it's total ai slop , now that is real slop

this other channel is actually trying to make legit honest prince ai type music that would probably make prince himself proud. I read the page, they are saying they are paying homage, or tribute with their songs. I havent heard one song about apocalyptic bananas flying out of anyones fanny. You really need to open your heart and open your mind , ai is leading the way , a wonderful trip through all time, and homage is all you pay. " Around ai in a day

I want to call you all kinds of names but, instead, will just cough-jackass-cough.

It's the proselytizing that gives it away.

Agree its only going to get worse and will be harder to distinguish whats real and whats AI. Especially if they start using track names that we know are real but are still unheard by the majority of fans.

Saying all of the above if somebody did an AI Version of BAD as a duet by Michael Jackson & Prince as a call and response type track I would definitely give it a listen to hear what possibly could have been

This is precisely the difference between AI and other tools. The fact that you address it this way suggests you don't understand what makes it different, which is precisely what scares me, because you're not the only one. Just like when people say "AI can't replace humans at every job" or "AI cannot have an agentivity of its own". Treating this one tool just like every other tool that preceeded it is the best way to have it blow up to our faces. Like it or not, it's different, and toying with semantics ain't gonna change that.

Wow. You just put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5 . Fun fact, a lot of companies are easing back on AI or are dropping it completely precisely because it can't do what humans can do. These companies have spent billions of dollars on AI only to find out that they were basically throwing their money down a black hole. For example, Take Two Interactive, owner of Rockstar Games and the Grand Theft Auto IP, have recently fired their "Head of AI" and their entire AI team because it turns out that spending billions on a technology that can't actually do what they thought it could do was a bad idea. Basically, AI is just another con like NFTs and cryptocurrency and the bubble will burst eventually once the bigwig CEOs realize that they've been sold a donkey.

You have good points but I think massively downplaying the power of AI. NFTs and crypto have no inherent value. AI has myriad uses, and that will only increase over time.

I've heard those sweet tales of "AI does not/will not work" and I see they make certain people very happy because, I guess, it's what they wish to see happen, but so far, most of the the news I read lead me to believe those "incidents" are just a small glitch on the way to AI dominance: AI is not going anywhere, investments keep getting higher, it's already being used for warfare of all things, and I'd be really surprised if it ever turned out that agentic AI was a dream. Time will tell, but I don't buy any scenario where we give-up on AI (or robots, for that matter). It's not happening now and I don't think it will.

.

It's a bit like all those times someone in France told me "self-driving cars don't and won't ever work: there was an accident in City X last week". Then I tell them about the current deployments of self-driving cars in the US and China, and they're like "oh..." Their accident was just a small glitch that won't change anything on the long run. And remember that only maybe a year ago, there were people here saying that AI could never, ever emulate Prince's music reastically. Well, it's 2026 and I'm pretty sure most of us could already be fooled by a well made deepfake presented as an outtake by someone we trust.

.

And even if you were right, there's so much at stake in case you'd be wrong that I don't think it's reasonable to just shrug it away and put it under the rug.

.

AI denialism is pretty much the only thing that scares me more than AI, to be honest.

Like, I'm not denying that it's something CEOs of big companies want to see succeed. But there are plenty of examples of AI just not working the way they thought it would. There's a Take Two Interactive example I have above. The videogame industry especially seem to have a real hard-on for AI at the moment because the people in charge see it as a way to reduce costs and speed up development timelines. But one by one they are starting to see that it doesn't work. Take Two found out the hard way after pumping billions of dollars into it and getting zero back. Even Microsoft appear to be cooling on AI use for game development with their new head of Xbox stating that AI slop can never replace human creativity. And keep in mind, her background is in AI development. So she would know exactly what it is and isn't capable of. AI can be very useful when used in conjunction with human creativity but it simply can't act on its own accord. The very nature of how AI works means that it literally can't think for itself. It's not AI as depicted in science fiction. It more closely resembles an aggravator. It's taking information that is fed to it and it's giving back something that, in the best cases, very closely resembles the information given to it. But it can't create ANYTHING that is completely new or original. Ben Affleck recently sold his AI company for big money and gave an interview saying basically that there is a huge misunderstanding amongst the heads of many entertainment companies about what AI can actually do. They see it as a magic button they can press to generate ideas and full screenplays. But it doesn't work that way. It can only replicate what it knows. It can't create anything. As for this Prince AI music, I genuinely don't see how anyone could confuse this for the real thing. It was the same thing when I heard an AI Michael Jackson song a few months ago. I think it was called Bad Attitude. It was presented to me as if it was an outtake from the Bad era but I could tell immediately that it was AI. Every AI song I've ever heard has the same kind of unnatural vocal inflections. No matter if it's trying to replicate Prince, Michael Jackson or anyone else. They all have an unnatural feeling to them that just makes it obvious to me that it's AI.

If I'm going to be honest, I don't think we, humans, can "create ANYTHING that is completely new or original" either. We're just processing, reorganizing and regurgitating data.

Either way, I propose we resume this conversation in a year or two and we'll see what happened ^^

And so will its dangers: https://www.theguardian.c...ic-ai-tool

Morals and itegrity aside, this is really impressive.

I wonder what AI would do if you took a incomplete sample of outtake, gave it the full known lyrics and asked it to extrapolate a full song perfect clarity.

Art is not stealing another artist's work to train a computer to make sound-alike noise. AI is leading the way to in taking MORE of what little money real human artists are barely collecting. Prince would never existed if he had to find time to write around his dayjob. Art takes time and reflection. It's worthy of a paycheck.

well it is for free . its on youtube . i never paid a penny . and its just because someone is enjoying creating songs for our enjoyment . As the website says , for entertainment purposes. So far , i've been entertained. I dont see anyone losing any money . What i do see is this new generation finding out about prince through ai , which would lead new fans directly to all of his albums, thus the only people getting paid is the Prince Estate. It seems like a win win for them. I say keep the ai coming, im enjoying these songs . They have michael jackson and other artists on there too , good songs. IMO .

You can't be serious with this nonsense.
How can a fake take of anything lead to discovering the real deal?
Are you the prompter of this shit???

nayroo2002 said:

Absolutely soul-less, and we know for a fact Prince would find it to be demonic. AI may have a place in music, but this it ain't it.

Even if I didn't know this shit was fake, if it showed up on a bootleg for instance, I would think it sucks.

The one most important thing mising here in all of it is Prince.

It's a cold Prince, a cold thin copy.

Where is the 'sex'?

Where are the 'politics'?

Poorest of all are the lyrics.

The songs are so forgettable, nothing sticks, nothing stands out.

There's not one guitar part that had depth or sounded playded by Prince.

Just an amalgam of what only Ai can do with what it thinks sounds like Prince.

Just cheap elevator-Prince-ish-music, uninspired, empty, pointless.

I'm still waitng for Ai to blow me away another day, but i think it'll never will.

Though i stay very much interested in Ai and all it's amazing capacities.

-

There's much more complicated/complex info needed to feed Ai, to be able to make something Prince worthy. Ai needs much more detailed and exact clear info to be able to produce, write and (copy-)play and arrange Prince's music. Ideas that go beyond what it produces from what it knows excisting. So it probably will never be able to outstand or equal any Prince idea or song.

What's the point in doing things like this ? Do people actually enjoy this ?

Well, the former host of The Apprentice does since he likes posting photos of himself as Jesus Christ. There's the Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt fight video

A real movie with A.I. of Val Kilmer is going to be released. Also, there's an "actress/singer" named Tilly Norwood. Older bands like Tears For Fears & Duran Duran have released AI music videos for some of their more recent songs. It has been used for TV commercials by companies like Coca Cola.

There's only one reason this bullshit is created:

ATTENTION FOR "INFLUENCERS".

The game right now is "rage bait", ie, doing things so outrageous, stupid or disgusting that people will cinokaub abiyt ut, People are more likely to reply with complaint then appreciation.

I figure anyone who publicizes this shit is in on it.

I genuinely think he's either the one behind those bullshit "songs" or he's just some guy taking the piss.

Yes, my thought is that they were the originator of these songs.

Here's an interesting link about the state of AI now: https://www.technologyrev...se-charts/

We are reaching that threshold where A.I. is able to make very Princelike pastiche, and very humanoid style writing. My only response is to please stop feeding it content and attention. We are exactly where I thought we would be a year ago and my thoughts and prayers are with anyone travelling to Minneapolis for celebration.

Have a good time, but keep your eyes open and your thinking critical. Above all else do not rise to any provocation.

Your lives and those of your families are more important than any of the drama playing out.
