This is great. There was no reason for there to be any mention of George Carlin in the video's title, especially not crediting it to him and especially not with a title like that. I'm curious if the creator ever sat back and thought that what they were doing was wrong.
A real AI comedian trained by living comedians would be an interesting feat, but coming right out the gate with the first real example being such a blatant theft of likeness sours so much opinion people will have on the idea in the future.
Did you try watching it? The first minute or so is nothing but disclaimers that this isn't "really" Carlin, and the AI itself makes numerous jokes about its AI nature throughout the special. There's no false credit going on here.
Someone could snip out a joke and claim it was Carlin. Then the disclaimers are meaningless. This happens on the internet all the time.
Writing a comedy set (ai or not) and then having a Carlin bot read it out and then releasing it under his name is definitely crossing some major lines. I'm not sure what the legality of it is at this point, but if it is legal it shouldn't be.
Then that someone has done something wrong.
I could dig up one of your old comments, snip out something from one of them out of context, and use it to defame someone. Should you be hauled off to court for having posted that comment? I haven't even done it yet.
