It’s unfortunate that George Carlin, a legendary stand-up comedian, has been “resurrected” through an artificial intelligence-generated special called “George Carlin: I’m Glad I’m Dead”.
The hour-long special is created by Dudesy, an AI comedy host, who impersonates Carlin’s voice, cadence, and comedic style. It covers modern-day topics such as mass shootings, the American class system, streaming services, social media, and AI.
George Carlin’s daughter, Kelly Carlin, expressed disapproval of the AI-generated special, emphasizing that her father’s genius and unique craft can never be replaced by machines. She urged people to appreciate George Carlin’s authentic work and support living human comedians.
