I’m not here to rage about the whole human vs machine thing because I honestly don’t give two shits. However, this isn’t very good. The pacing feels like George Carlin, but that’s about it. It’s really more like an edgy Ryan Reynolds.

I disagree. It’s actually pretty good. Hopefully some people will be outraged enough to actually listen to it.

As someone who’s consumed every album and special George Carlin produced, it felt like someone retelling their memory of some of his bits. Like regurgitation. It’d be impressive if your nephew performed this at his thirteenth birthday party after becoming obsessed with Carlin.

That’s because that’s exactly what these are. They don’t create new things. They use and modify existing work.

They being the writers of the joke, which are humans. The AI part is only imitating George Carlins voice and cadence.

See, I disagree. Someone retelling their memory of some of his bits, or your nephew performing at his birthday party would be telling old George Carlin jokes. This was new material and was topical, which I think is cool. It’s hard to know what George would really think about today’s climate, but I can’t imagine it would be too far off from the this.
Was it perfect? No. But if I know what it is going in, I can sit back and just enjoy it for what it is - entertainment.

Given modern generative large language models are still about a decade away from a thirteenth birthday, this is pretty impressive then.
Does anyone remember the Seinfeld AI generation in 2022?
Do we really think this tech is going to stop here and not improve at all after such rapid growth in the past two years?
By the time of its thirteenth birthday I suspect it’s going to have gotten much better at writing jokes.

Agree. It was fun to hear. The bit around 37 mins about what it’s like being dead was fun

The bit about AI Bill Cosby made me laugh the hardest. “You get all of the Cosby jokes with none of the Cosby rapes!”
