Does this AI comic make you laugh?
Comedian Garrett Millerick has built an AI avatar trained on his own comedic material, raising early questions about whether AI can replicate a comedian's voice and timing.
Why this matters: Comedy is one of the more personal things a person can create. Training an AI on your own jokes and persona is a choice Millerick made for himself, but the same technology works just as well without a comedian's consent. That is the part worth watching. Who owns a performer's voice, style, and delivery once it can be copied cheaply? Right now, not much law covers it.
