"AI" is should be used a bit loosely, I doubt AI wrote much of it, but the voice and cadence is pretty damn good.

I would hope whoever did that is paying the estate of George Carlin a royalty.
That the problem with AI. Using someone's IP to train an AI to mimic that individual is a big gray area.
Rick Beato has a very good interview with Bjorn Ulvaeus about this. Ulvaeus and Andersson have a lot of expertise with AI and have been on the forefront of trying to set rules for how AI derived artists should compensate the original. It's one thing to use yourself to train an ABBAtar. It's another have someone use your songs, lyrics and sound to train an avatar to mimic you.

This is awful.
Carlin's daughter sounds pretty pissed off about it.Mathguy64 said:

My statement regarding the AI generated George Carlin special: My dad spent a lifetime perfecting his craft from his very human life, brain and imagination. No machine will ever replace his genius. These AI generated products are clever attempts at trying to recreate a mind…1/3

She should be. It's theft of IP.
Just no.
The voice and timing is spot on, the writing is not remotely close.
Is it though? Is it theft when a comedian does a Trump or Biden impersonation?Mathguy64 said:

And lets assume for a minute that they only used publicly available data to train the AI to sound like him (unless there is proof otherwise). Is it theft just because the AI does it better and is more convincing?
I'm not saying this should be legal (that's certainly debatable). But why is this "theft" under current laws?

That's the slippery slope. It's a very gray area.
To me this is over the line. They should have asked permission.
Really can't believe so many were enamored with AI/LLM's creative writing capabilities a year or so ago. Also, it's pretty tragic to see how far American stand up comedy has fallen just in the past decade, even. Like Matt Rife? And I say this as someone younger than him. Just one example, but still, even Stav (Stavros Halkias), Nick Mullen, etc. were/are so much better in a free form/podcast format. Shane Gillis too, but I'll admit he's still good on stage.
For whatever reasons this feels wrong, but on then other hand I find the Thomas the tank engine episode mods that splices in audio from Carlin's stand up to be hilarious.
Episode wasn't even written by AI apparently.

No matter the celebrity status of your deceased loved one, watching them in an AI video like that must be heart-wrenching.
I doubt it is heart wrenching at all, he died of natural causes many years ago. They shouldn't profit off of thought.
