George Carlin’s daughter Kelly Carlin is not laughing at an AI-generated comedy special on YouTUbe consisting entirely of an “impersonation” of her comic-genius father. The specia…
For what it’s worth. I managed to sit through about half, and my impression is they got Carlin’s tone and delivery. The only thing they got wrong is Carlin was funny. This isn’t.
Maybe it really gets hilarious after the first 30 minutes and I just missed it, but this seemed to me to be the comedy version of AI getting the fingers wrong.
It knows the kinds of things Carlin would say, and it knows people laugh at what Carlin would say, but it’s nowhere close to understanding why or being able to reproduce the experience.
