    “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?

      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.
