George Carlin is the Socrates of our time; there I said it.

And as Rufus in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, George Carlin’s character ensured Bill & Ted were able to meet and bring Socrates to their school for their presentation to ensure their success.

Not a fan of Carlin's likeness being used by AI hacks. His brilliance was always matched by his authenticity, and there's nothing authentic about AI.

It sorta sounds like him. But something is off. Maybe it’s too deep. The timing is off. His pauses for effect aren’t there. The tone of his voice is just wrong to my ear.

Did you listen?

[–] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I did. Wasn’t very funny. Sounds way off. And it’s missing that gravitas and authenticity you get from a human. It’s hard to describe. I don’t like it in principal. And I don’t like the result. And the AI from a topics point view sounds like a grumpy edgy boomer. Real Carlin didn’t.

It’s horrible!

Whatever you think of the results or the implications, it's hard to deny that it is in fact interesting. People downvoting you for saying so ought to be ashamed of themselves.

[–] Jakdracula@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

People are scared.

There are many parts to that AI program that sound exactly like something Carlin would say.

It’s scary for people to think about.

This is the guy who would wank in front of women while offering them writing work?
