AI-Generated George Carlin Drops Comedy Special That Daughter Speaks Out Against: ‘No Machine Will Ever Replace His Genius’::Stand-up comedian George Carlin has been brought back to life in an artificial intelligence-generated special called ‘I’m Glad I’m Dead.’
That’s because that’s exactly what these are. They don’t create new things. They use and modify existing work.
They being the writers of the joke, which are humans. The AI part is only imitating George Carlins voice and cadence.
Oh, well that changes a lot. I assumed it was AI generated jokes. The people writting the jokes should just tell it themselves. What’s the point of using Carlin’s likeness?
Could be they are not good at telling jokes, or they wanted to use material that are more associated with George Carlin rather than them. I don’t know.
IMO, using AI voices is funnier when you make them say things the real person would never say, so I don’t see the appeal of imitating someone.
