This is no different to training an AI on the works of Van Gogh, getting it to create a new work in that style and then signing it and pretending it was actually created by Vincent.
It is an insult to and an abuse of a deceased artist.
They are grifters, nothing more.
Doesnāt it literally open up talking about how heās dead though? I donāt think itās really trying to pretend this was really him?
Donāt know, I wont watch it and give them views.
It does not matter what this AI created crap says, it is using Carlinās image and voice to say shit he never did and that he never gave permission for.
The first minute of it is literally them explaining multiple times that this is not actually George Carlin and itās just an ai trained on his material so it can learn to write like him. They also trained it on his voice so it sounds like him.
I only watched a few minutes out of curiosity and was actually impressed how closely it matches his voice and style.
Iām kinda against using AI to revive a person without their express permission. So anyone whoās already dead shouldnāt be eligible.
But regardless the tech is impressive in practice itās kind of scary.
Anyway, just writing to let you know they really hammer home that itās not actually him.
I havenāt watched it either I just read one or two of these articles that keep getting posted every day to keep it alive. But if you havenāt watched itā¦ How do you know itās trying to pretend this is really Carlin like you claim?
Iām not saying this is good this is absolutely bullshit but nobodyās trying to pretend this is actually him.
They donāt because it says in like the first 30seconds that it trained an ai to write in his style and one to do the voice in his style, itās an ai impersonation of a modern Carlin set.
Iām not saying itās correct to do it, but I donāt like people falsely claiming theyāre trying to trick people into thinking itās real or something, when if you listen to only the intro, youāll understand.

You should probably edit your original post and make it clear you were talking out of your ass.
I donāt have to see this crap to know Carlin and his estate did not approve of its production. That is what the article is about.
Yeah, but thatās not what you said. You didnāt say Carlinās family wouldnāt approve so you wonāt watch it.
You implied that they are claiming it is Carlin, which is 100% untrue. You didnāt mention you hadnāt seen it until after you were called out for your lie.
You very clearly said they are trying to convince people this is really Carlin though. When they go out of their way to open the show with āIm dead.ā Thatās what weāre talking about my man.
Yes this is accurate
Iām not saying this special is respectful. But it is very much clear from the beginning that itās not actually him. No one is pretending it is
Nobody, exempting you, is pretending itās actually Carlin. Please at least vaguely know what youāre talking about before you post, you need not join the ranks of misinformed angry morons that actively ruin the internet.
Hasnāt this been repeated for a few days now? If you donāt give exposure to it, it will just die.
Itās the only way I keep hearing about it is all these rage bait news stories
Itās almost as if it was done on purpose at this point, jesus christ.
For what itās worth. I managed to sit through about half, and my impression is they got Carlinās tone and delivery. The only thing they got wrong is Carlin was funny. This isnāt.
Maybe it really gets hilarious after the first 30 minutes and I just missed it, but this seemed to me to be the comedy version of AI getting the fingers wrong.
It knows the kinds of things Carlin would say, and it knows people laugh at what Carlin would say, but itās nowhere close to understanding why or being able to reproduce the experience.
Why Carlin though? He is one of the most respected comics of all time. I donāt see him as the type to embrace A.I. type stuff if he was alive today.
I think Mitch Hedburg, Rodney Dangerfield, or hell even Gilbert Godfrey might even get a kick out of shit like this.
Listened to about half, itās Carlin topics and style, but the voice is uncanny, the jokes are eh, and the audience laughing/cheering is at entirely inappropriate times.
