George Carlin’s Daughter Blasts Dudesy AI-Generated Comedy Special Impersonating Her Dad: “No Machine Will Ever Replace His Genius”
George Carlin’s daughter Kelly Carlin is not laughing at an AI-generated comedy special on YouTUbe consisting entirely of an “impersonation” of her comic-genius father. The specia…
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
Doesn't it literally open up talking about how he's dead though? I don't think it's really trying to pretend this was really him?
Don't know, I wont watch it and give them views.
It does not matter what this AI created crap says, it is using Carlin'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 it’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.
I’m kinda against using AI to revive a person without their express permission. So anyone who’s already dead shouldn’t be eligible.
But regardless the tech is impressive in practice it’s kind of scary.
Anyway, just writing to let you know they really hammer home that it’s not actually him.
I haven'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 haven't watched it... How do you know it's trying to pretend this is really Carlin like you claim?
I'm not saying this is good this is absolutely bullshit but nobody's trying to pretend this is actually him.
They don'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, it's an ai impersonation of a modern Carlin set.
I'm not saying it's correct to do it, but I don't like people falsely claiming they're trying to trick people into thinking it's real or something, when if you listen to only the intro, you'll understand.

You should probably edit your original post and make it clear you were talking out of your ass.
I don'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 that's not what you said. You didn't say Carlin's family wouldn't approve so you won't watch it.
You implied that they are claiming it is Carlin, which is 100% untrue. You didn't mention you hadn'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 'Im dead.' That's what we're talking about my man.
Yes this is accurate
I'm not saying this special is respectful. But it is very much clear from the beginning that it's not actually him. No one is pretending it is
Nobody, exempting you, is pretending it's actually Carlin. Please at least vaguely know what you're talking about before you post, you need not join the ranks of misinformed angry morons that actively ruin the internet.
