I knew a woman who thought pecan trees just naturally grew in a perfect grid pattern because that's what she was told as a little girl and had no reason to believe it wasn't just a cool fact of nature.

OP failed to mention the role Benadryl played in Bill Cosby's social life.

This is nuts.

Don't get defensive about this.

AI will gobble up all intellectual property and shit out something similar. Over and over over.

Stopping it isn't an option. And it isn't society's job to protect intellectual property owners from new technology in the first place.

Living creators will be able to make a humble living through live appearances and physical media, the same as they have for the last couple of centuries.

This isn't about your ego, peanut. Your position is the wrong one.

Nah, you're wrong. Fuck protecting creators from AI. Let the internet become a circlejerk of bots gobbling each other's digital cum.

When a good comedian comes along, I'll go see a live performance. The same goes for musicians, painters, novelists, whoever. Anyone old enough to remember the internet of the '90s will tell you what a derivative shithole it has become already. It's only getting worse. Artists will adapt and monetize things that AI can't ruin the market for.

Analog human culture can be fun in ways that no chatbot will ever know.

Does she own the rights to his work by chance?

[–] AlfredEinstein@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Excellent point.

I listened to the first five minutes, and it's pretty similar to Carlin's later work.

I'm not clutching my pearls about this any more than Steamboat Willie going into the public domain.

Intellectual property rights are silly, and protecting dead entertainers' legacies is a waste of time. If a Carlinbot makes a good joke, good for the Carlinbot. What I heard wasn't very impressive.

Becoming some random six-year-old would be pretty jarring
