It appears that one of the youngsters tried to pull a fast one on me.

She knows that Jodeci is one of my favorite groups, and let me listen to a bunch of songs like this one:

I thought it WAS Jodeci.

They sounded JUST LIKE I would expect Jodeci to sound today at their age....lol.

Then she hit me with the punch line: It's allegedly AI

I'm not sure whether to be impressed or a bit frightened that a computer or.....something.....can generate sounds so similar to the real thing.

There's a number of clues that it's clearly AI-generated.

The fact that AI is good enough to fool people now means the technolog will only get better.

I hope the real Jodeci is getting paid for their name, image & likeness.😎

ProfD

There's a number of clues that it's clearly AI-generated.

Not sure what other clues you're speaking of but the only thing that sounded a bit off was the keyboard at the 2:40 minute mark.

It sounded more like a harmonica than a keyboard.

It sho' didn't sound like Devante's usual "git down" on the keyboard, lol.

Other than that....that picture is a little strange because I don't know WHO that brutha is on the far left opposite of K-Ci....lol.

I hope the real Jodeci is getting paid for their name, image & likeness.

Let us hope, because the vocals sound JUST like them.

Not how they sounded in the 90s.....lol...but how they sounded in the 2010s.

Now THIS one on the other hand..............

Is some straight UP bullshit, lol.

Doesn't sound anything like them.

As a musician, I can hear things in the overall production that are telltale signs that it's fake.

If it was supposed to be a new song, it definitely doesn't sound like they would today at 50-something years old.🤣😎
