"evidence"
Take a Taylor Swift song. Sing on top of it. Try selling it with the name "Taylor Swift - I'm Not Dead"
You can sell it as "My garbage cover remix of Taylor Swift's song", but you cannot make an impression that this originated from Taylor Swift.
Same thing with Carlin, Beyonce, etc.
It is using the name and identical appearance of Carlin, to appear as if Carlin was speaking himself. A person who cannot read would not be able to differentiate. It is plagiarism and malicious copyright infringement.
I see so the law now depends on the illiterate and not the reasonable person standard?
We've shifted the goalpost from splicing together her entire discography to singing on top of a song. Neither of which is what AI does, or what that channel did with Carlin's work.
A person who can't read or hear. If you can't understand the narrator telling you for nearly a full minute that this is not George Carlin's work then you can't understand the next hour of the video that uses his voice anyways.
I'm trying to dumb down the problem so we can have a conversation. I am not saying it is what "AI" is doing.
I've said this elsewhere, a sticky note with a "no cppyroght infringement intended lol" is absolutely worthless.
Then I point you to the mountains of monetized, copyrighted and most importantly transformative YTP videos... and all of the sudden your new example is
Which is a copyright violation, and still not how the Carlin vid was made. But yeah...not shifting goalposts.
Making your examples more irrelevant and "dumbed down" isn't going to convince anyone. But maybe you're not even trying to convince anyone. If you want to make a convincing argument, tone down the vitriol and seething, and just talk about how this vid was actually made and how this actually constitutes a copyright violation.
YTP is satire. It is transformative. Christ, I'm not going to repeat myself over and over. If you don't comprehend, you don't comprehend. IDGAF.
The fact is, the original video is taken private. So there's the concousion. Bye.
You started at "all these things that aren't analogous or comparable to AI violate copyright" and never strayed from that 🤔 but ok bud
This thread didn't need any more AI hysteria, but it's your prerogative to tap out before talking about how AI actually works or how the Carlin vid was actually made
