A new comedy special starts with the quote, “I’m sorry it took me so long to come out with new material, but I do have a pretty good excuse. I was dead.”
The voice sounds like comedian George Carlin, but that would be impossible, as Carlin died in 2008. The voice in the special is actually generated by an artificial intelligence (AI).
“This is not my father. It’s so ghoulish. It’s so creepy,” Carlin’s daughter, Kelly Carlin-McCall, told As It Happens host Nil Köksal.
The YouTube account Dudesy, which is described as a podcast, artificial intelligence and “first of its kind media experiment,” released the hour-long special on Jan. 9. CBC reached out to the producers of Dudesy and its co-host Will Sasso for comment, but did not get a response.
Sasso and co-host Chad Kultgen say they can’t reveal the company behind the AI due to a non-disclosure agreement, according to Vice. The channel launched in March 2022.
Carlin-McCall said the channel never reached out to the family or asked for permission to use her father’s likeness. She says her father took great pride in the thought and effort he put into writing his material.
No. Good try tho.
Then who’s being “enslaved”?
They bolded it for you.
No, they didn’t.
I underlined the bolded bit since you’ve poor eyesight. I hope it helps.
That doesn’t describe anyone being enslaved. It says to own a person is slavery, especially owning their labour. But no labour of his is being owned here. George himself did not say those lines.
It’s okay you don’t understand, that’s fine.
Don’t try to gaslight me in an attempt to avoid presenting a rebuttal.
They would need a coherent argument for that instead of just rambling about slavery
Like I said, don’t worry about it. If you don’t get it you don’t get it.
