Meaningless but Carlin bought a house owned by the parents of a friend, Eddie Evans, on the East Rd in Saddle River. He was one of the greatest.

I’ve wondered if anyone will try mounting copyright/intellectual property challenges to this stuff; or if they even can.

The day will come when actors are an expensive annoying superfluous commodity when it comes to movie making and they’ll be discarded. I won’t miss them!

There have been, and are, some great actors. They can’t be replaced by AI.

“Things are starting to come apart at the seams so they’re taking as much of your money as they can, while they still can,” the voice said. “Make no mistake, guns ain’t nothing but a federally sanctioned cash grab, plain and simple. You give your money to Smith & Wesson and Smith & Wesson gives it to the politicians. The politicians write laws to make guns easier to sell so you can give even more of your money to Smith & Wesson.”

I don’t recall Carlin ever being anti-constitutional. This ain’t even funny. Not like Carlin at all.

The real evil here is that the AI can make “Carlin” say things the real Carlin never would have said. Sure, there’s a disclaimer at the start. But most people will forget about the disclaimer, and just remember what they heard.

Should this even be legal? Doesn’t someone own the rights to Carlin’s work and his image? I don’t know. But I do know this isn’t morally right.

I think in this case, the full quote is warrranted:

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.

And given that the AI George Carlin is apparently woke, mediocrity is an undeserved compliment.

'...the AI can make “Carlin” say things the real Carlin never would have said.'

This. And it's frightening on so many levels.

The story is the thing the actor is an accessory.
I grant you a great actor can sort of save a bad story. However, it’s not common. Probably not worth being your investment on. Anyway Hollyweird has lost the ability to write a good story! I doubt if AI can save them there.

I don’t think I ever heard that full quote. And after reading some of the AI dialogue - this ain’t even mediocre.

It ain’t funny. Daughter has a right to be mad.

I dunno ... I listened to it and didn’t think it sounded like Carlin at all.

I never found him funny.

Same with Andy Kaufman

I heard an AI rendition of Art Bell a while back. Those of us who liked his show know his sound very well. The AI sounded remarkably like him superficially, but you could tell it wasn’t him - the cadence, intonation, etc., were ‘off’.

“I might be the first standup comic to be brought back from the dead by AI but
I’m certainly not the last,”...

~~~~~~~

...it said while in the guise of a trusted soul, it tries to program US with
divisive leftist nonsense.

And THAT is what they will be used for, to control the narratives and decide
the next elections, from all digital fronts, feeds, and search results, 24/7,
forever and ever, amen.

Whoever can wield the most brutally effective AI tools, wins.
(Short of divine intervention.)

We may not think it be that way, but...

It is now just all too...

Great actors can illuminate a great story, too, and make it even more powerful.

But I’ll agree that AI can’t help with the almost complete dearth of creativity in Hollywood today.
