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

      Carlin’s great wisdom is in understanding that how things are is the greatest joke of all.

    One of the 20th Century’s greatest popular philosophers.

      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.

          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.

      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.

        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.

        Ah ok. This era of white american male comedian is hard to tell apart.

          They’re from different eras, just say “all white men look the same and I think they’re all sexual predators” that’s what you meant right?

            No, I’m just not from the usa. I only hear about this person in comments like here.

                I asked a question to better identify who this person was. You’re being very emotional, are you ok? This can’t just be about my getting comedians confused.

                Or are all George Carlin fans just like this?

                  Nah, it’s just incredibly rude and obnoxious to imply a person is a sex pest just because you’re too lazy or incompetent to spend ten seconds on a search engine.

                  George Carlin is a goddamned philosopher saint compared to the turdlet you named. Educate yourself, man!
