    Doesnā€™t it literally open up talking about how heā€™s dead though? I donā€™t think itā€™s really trying to pretend this was really him?

      Donā€™t know, I wont watch it and give them views.

      It does not matter what this AI created crap says, it is using Carlinā€™s 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 itā€™s 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.

        Iā€™m kinda against using AI to revive a person without their express permission. So anyone whoā€™s already dead shouldnā€™t be eligible.

        But regardless the tech is impressive in practice itā€™s kind of scary.

        Anyway, just writing to let you know they really hammer home that itā€™s not actually him.

        I havenā€™t 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 havenā€™t watched itā€¦ How do you know itā€™s trying to pretend this is really Carlin like you claim?

        Iā€™m not saying this is good this is absolutely bullshit but nobodyā€™s trying to pretend this is actually him.

          They donā€™t 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, itā€™s an ai impersonation of a modern Carlin set.

          Iā€™m not saying itā€™s correct to do it, but I donā€™t like people falsely claiming theyā€™re trying to trick people into thinking itā€™s real or something, when if you listen to only the intro, youā€™ll understand.

        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.

        I wont watch it and give them views.

        You should probably edit your original post and make it clear you were talking out of your ass.

          I donā€™t 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 thatā€™s not what you said. You didnā€™t say Carlinā€™s family wouldnā€™t approve so you wonā€™t watch it.

            You implied that they are claiming it is Carlin, which is 100% untrue. You didnā€™t mention you hadnā€™t 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 ā€˜Im dead.ā€™ Thatā€™s what weā€™re talking about my man.
