Remember the wisdom shared by Jeff Goldblum’s character in “Jurassic Park,” that, to paraphrase, just because you can do something with a new technology, doesn’t mean you should?
Someone should probably pass that along to the people behind the “Dudesy” podcast.
“Dudesy” is feeling the heat over a new artificial-intelligence-generated comedy show wherein it re-created legendary comedian George Carlin, who died of heart failure in 2008 at the age of 71.
Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen of “Dudesy” specialize in material that explores the intersection of comedy and AI technology, using the titular AI Dudesy.
According to People, the AI Dudesy explained and defended Sasso and Kultgen’s macabre creation — titled “George Carlin: I’m Glad I’m Dead!” — by telling viewers, “I just want to let you know very clearly that what you’re about to hear is not George Carlin. It’s my impersonation of George Carlin that I developed in the exact same way a human impressionist would.”
I wish he had been around long enough to tackle DEI in a standup routine.
A little respect, please!
