Chaplin In The Eye of the Beholder

[John Bengtson]

Is it me, or do these three new books about Charlie Chaplin listed on Amazon seem to have something in common?

[Richard M Roberts]

Yep, bad AI is rampant.

I'm waiting to see the Charlie Chaplin bio that has a picture of Billy West on the cover.

They have eliminated the Chaplin brush mustache for an elongated mo. Maybe the publishers were afraid Chaplin's image would be confused with hitler.

I hate AI. It makes everything and everyone stupider.

I have no need for artificial intelligence, what I keep hoping for is Genuine Intelligence in Humanity, but I keep getting disappointed.

These days, people's cell phones are smarter than they are.

Here's my two cents: #1 looks like a guy who came in dead last in a French Chaplin lookalike contest (seriously, top hat and bow tie?), #2 is not of this world (therefore a perfect rep for AI - any bets on whether he has six fingers?), and #3 looks like LIMELIGHT-era Chaplin entering a Robert Downey Jr CHAPLIN lookalike contest.

To paraphrase Fred Allen, "the average (fill in the blank) is well below average".

[Richard M Roberts]

Or George Carlin:

"Look how stupid the average man is, and realize half of them are stupider than that!"

My favorite Fred Allen line (referring to radio and television)was:

"They call it a medium because nothing is well done in it."
