George Carlin Estate Files Lawsuit Against Group Behind AI-Generated Stand-Up Special: ‘A Casual Theft of a Great American Artist’s Work’::George Carlin’s estate has filed a lawsuit against the creators behind an AI-generated comedy special featuring a recreation of the comedian’s voice.
I’m over tech fads and AI produced gibberish is boring and/or ugly just like this special we’re gabbing about here.
You know what would’ve been more interesting than an AI posthumous rip-off George Carlin special? A funny comedian actually writing and performing new material that was up to the real George Carlin’s bar.
Personally, I think the reason chat bots had to be the next thing is that these dweebs had to invent themselves a friend.
Perhaps. The world can use more kindness when despite everything, loneliness is at an all time high. It’s not a fix but maybe it can be a brake on someone’s downwards spiral.
I’d prefer and love to see someone new match George Carlin’s level too though, much more than someone trying to become him. I dont think we’ve quite had a chance to savor the good side of AI yet, but hey you’re entitled to your opinion.
