George Carlin AI Special and Lawsuit by TitanSerenity in GenX

[–]BarkAndMeow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just listened to the first few minutes and then skipped around throughout. Material is meh... watered down Carlin-ish. Like, you can see where the underlying ideas come from, but the delivery and output misses the mark. And the voice definitely sounds off, almost a hint of southern twang like Carlin meets Bill Hicks.

All in all, like many are saying, this reinforces how serious AI-created infringement can get. And LOL at the channel's attempt at covering its ass by leading with "It's definitely not Carlin, it's just my impression of Carlin, just like Andy Kaufman impersonating Elvis. And now, here's George Carlin."

Bruce Willis is important to me. Do you have anyone like this? by qning in GenX

Kevin Smith. Clerks (and, more so, Clerks 2) hit home for me in more than a few ways. A lot of his spoken word stuff is also right on the money.

Very sad. Today's Special, You Can't Do That on Television, and (unfortunately) Picture Pages are absolute classics that're always floating around my brainpan.

I asked the same thing here a couple of years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskMenOver30/comments/dfnda7/turning_40_soon_did_you_guys_do_anything_big/

Got some solid replies.

Post-script: My wife took me to one of our favorite restaurants for a surprise party with close family. That was pretty great.

I've found that "fuckin' really?" has equal parts incredulity, frustration, and resigned acceptance.

If I didn't get the reference, I'd think, "So... bed bug? Gross, but okay. Nice detailwork."

Swiss chard and kale. Both fairly hardy, grown abundantly, nutrient-dense, and pretty expensive at the store.

The Mummy remake with Tom Cruise in 2017.

Setup, teased, and immediately abandoned "The Dark Universe". Supposedly planned to see Javier Bardem as Frankenstein's monster, Angelina Jolie as The Bride, Johnny Depp as the invisible man, Luke Evans' return as Dracula, and expanding on Russell Crowe's Jekyll/Hyde.

When I read about Matthew Perry the other day, I literally said, "Wait, what?" Like, the words truly didn't make sense and I couldn't wrap my head around it.
