The lawsuit filed in federal court in Los Angeles on Thursday asks that a judge order the podcast outlet, Dudesy, to immediately take down the audio special, “George Carlin: I’m Glad I’m Dead,” in which a synthesis of Carlin, who died in 2008, delivers commentary on current events.
Carlin’s daughter, Kelly Carlin, said in a statement that the work is “a poorly-executed facsimile cobbled together by unscrupulous individuals to capitalize on the extraordinary goodwill my father established with his adoring fanbase.”
The Carlin estate and its executor, Jerold Hamza, are named as plaintiffs in the suit, which alleges violations of Carlin’s right of publicity and copyright. The named defendants are Dudesy and podcast hosts Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen.
Ripping off George Carlin with AI isn’t subversive.
Demonstrating that an entire job class is about to get fucked into oblivion sure seems subversive to me!
Also, Carlin is fucking dead. How do you rip off a corpse?
For some reason I don’t think this is much of a concern for you
It is possible to be concerned & also not wish to personally add to the problem.
