Remember that AI-generated George Carlin special? The creators of the special are being sued by the late comedian’s estate.
Remember that AI-generated George Carlin special? If not, here’s a quick run-through. Earlier this month, we covered the Dudesy podcast using artificial intelligence to create a new George Carlin comedy special. The special is called “George Carlin: I’m Glad I’m Dead,” and, as of the writing of this article, the video has been viewed over half a million times.
At the start of the video, the AI says that it was able to create the special by listening to all of George Carlin’s material and using it to not only imitate his voice but also to decide the subjects and jokes they thought he may write and perform today.
“I just want to let you know very clearly that what you’re about to hear is not George Carlin. It’s my impersonation of George Carlin that I developed in the exact same way a human impressionist would. I listened to all of George Carlin’s material and did my best to imitate his voice, cadence and attitude as well as the subject matter I think would have interested him today.
