George Carlin is "back"
January 11, 2024 at 10:02 am
Quote:More than 15 years after his death, stand-up comedian George Carlin has been brought back to life in an artificial intelligence-generated special called “George Carlin: I’m Glad I’m Dead.”
The hour-long special, which dropped on Tuesday, comes from Dudesy, a comedy AI that hosts a podcast and YouTube show with “Mad TV” alum Will Sasso and podcaster Chad Kultgen.
Of course, many people are upset, but I think it is interesting as a curiosity. Right away "he" rips on god
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

He was so great. I remember him all the way back to his Hippie Dippy Weatherman days.
I am not so sure how I feel about him as AI. The real deal really can't be duplicated. He was one of a kind.

I'm entirely uninterested.

I listened to the first couple of minutes. Not the same.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Not the same. The vocal cadence is all off, and its voice isn't terribly close to the real deal. In comedy, timing is everything.
I listened to about two minutes.
Meh.
Disappointing theists since 1968!

Wasn't able to get the actual meme - but-
If you think George Carlin would love AI ripping him off, then you never understood any of his material.
