Tom Brady is being targeted in an AI-generated satire show and apparently doesn’t find it funny at all. The comedians play it cool.

Tom Brady is apparently taking legal action against two comedians.

Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen had published a comedy special in their parody podcast “Dudesay”, which was generated by an artificial intelligence.

The first ten minutes of the special were available on YouTube and went viral earlier this month.

As reported by “Bleacher Report” and tabloid site “TMZ,” lawyers for the recently retired quarterback legend have sent a cease-and-desist letter to the comedy duo.

Brady lawyers: video blatantly violates rights

The letter from Brady’s lawyers says the special “blatantly” violates their client’s rights.

The comedy program features a Brady character who has trouble signing me up on a dating app – a reference to Brady’s breakup with Gisele Bündchen.

“Is anyone on the apps right now? I’m recently single and thinking about using them, but here’s the problem. I’ve never been on them, I don’t really know what I’m doing,” the Brady character said in the AI video.

He continued, “Someone sent me a message on [the dating app] Bumble. She said, ‘You look just like Tom Brady,’ and I said, ‘I’m Tom Brady,’ and she said, ‘Prove it,’ so I went to her house and let a little air out of all her balls. “

Allusion to “Deflate-Gate “

Also an allusion – and a salacious one at that. The “Deflate-Gate” scandal involving under-inflated balls in the New England Patriots’ playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts in January 2015 cost Brady dearly. He was suspended for four games.

Sasso and Kultgen, who acknowledged receipt of the cease-and-desist letter, were calm on their podcast and do not anticipate any consequences.

They pointed out that their podcast was legally comparable to shows like Saturday Night Live. These are protected by the satire law. In their comedy special they at no time claimed that it was the real Brady who made these jokes.

Still, this case is likely to spark debate about the extent to which AI-generated content is actually protected by law as parody.

The sequence of the Brady video has been removed from YouTube again as a precaution for now.
