Besides Dudesy sounding gay...the little bit that I watched of the routine was good.

“I’m dead!”

Could be win-win, at least until AI starts virtue signaling and telling humans how to vote...

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.

The problem is enforcement when you've got some nobody using AI tech and uploading a video to YouTube.

It's only a matter of time before YouTube yanks it down over copyright infringement but then it becomes a game of Whack-A-Mole. It just keeps popping up elsewhere.

George Carlin Estate Threatens Legal Action Over AI Special

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

There was a hilarious Twitter thread some time back full of George Carlin "quotes" --imagining that Carlin was still alive and had turned into a total libtard during the Trump/Covid years.

Somewhat agree, but it’s rare ! Blake’s 7 is the best example where actors carried the series. Most of the story lines weren’t even good enough to be lame.

America is such a great place - not only can the dead for a Democrat, but the dead can also do a stand up ‘comedy’ routine.

I predicted this many years ago when computer modeling was in it’s infancy and the 386 was the top dog.

There will come a time when all the old time stars will be recreated through CGI and AI and movies will be made with them.

Imagine, John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, Katherine Hepburn, Bette Davis, all the greats from the Golden Age of Hollywood on screen again........

They can’t be replaced by AI.

They can and you won't even notice.

I don’t recall Carlin ever being anti-constitutional.

I remember him doing an HBO 1hr special in which he had people rolling in the isles and he never said one word, not one.

I predicted it when the first video tape recording was announced. Up until the advent of electronic recording TV was live, I figured if the recording could be stored on magnetic tape well then images could be created by electronic signals. Bear in mind this was well before computers were even thought of in our culture.

I remember my first encounter with a videotape machine in the military.

It was HUGE. It was about the size of a large Samsonite suitcase and took up nearly all the top of a military sized office desk.

I forget what type it was, circa 1973-74. I don’t think it was VHS or Beta, but something unique to the military................

No, I’ve already witnessed this done to someone, and I noticed.

This was generated by ChatGPT4 with the following prompt:
Explain how Al could be used to influence an election in less
than 1000 characters. Write this in the form of “If I were the
devil” by Paul Harvey.

~~~~~~~

“If I were the devil, l’d use Al to subtly shape public opinion.

I’d design algorithms that feed tailored news to sway voters’ views, reinforcing biases and deepening divisions.

I’d deploy chatbots impersonating real people to spread misinformation and discord on social media.

l’d harness data analytics to pinpoint and manipulate vulnerable voter groups with targeted propaganda.

I’d even automate the creation of deepfake videos to undermine the credibility of political figures.

In essence, l’d exploit Al not by overt acts, but through the shadows of doubt and disinformation, subtly steering the course of democracy.”

~~~~~~~

In other words, he would continue doing what he’s already doing...

~Easy
(...and then there is the manipulation of search results and all your other feeds...)
