“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"

No, was not developed in the exact same way a human would work, because it's not human. Should we let pitching machines play pro baseball now, just because they can throw any pitch with pinpoint control?

    This is how we end up with Blernsball

    The blerns are loaded, the count's three blerns and two anti-blerns and the infield blern rule is in effect, right?

    Except for the word "blern" that was complete gibberish.

    False analogy falacy. Comparing AI impersonation to pitching machines in pro baseball involves dissimilar contexts and functionalities.

    AI-based tools makes creating certain content easier, why being pissed at that? The guy who created the imperson clearly stated that the content was AI generated so there is no intended deception. He even wrote the script himself.

    It's like being pissed at a baker for using an electric dough kneader instead of his hands to make bread, as it's not made in the exact same way a human would work.

    It's not the exact same way, but it's still essentially the same outcome. Your pitching machine example doesn't make sense because AI doesn't do anything with pinpoint control.

    This objection is similar to saying photography isn't an art form; all you do is point and press a button. In reality there is a lot more to it than that.
