These AI generated products are clever attempts at trying to recreate a mind that will never exist again. Let's let the artist's work speak for itself. Humans are so afraid of the void that we can't let what has fallen into it stay there," she added.

    George Carlin would have hated this, rest his soul.

    honestly this is just giving more needless attention to AI. there's going to such an over-saturation of this shit that none of it will matter

    When asked on Twitter what's the problem with an AI impressionist riffing off her dad, Carlin replied: "I’m worried about his legacy. His reputation. His art. I’m allowed to do that as his daughter and while I’m alive."

    I understand why she's upset but come on, some stupid gimmick by some hack comics can't possibly affect George Carlin's legacy. nobody actually cares about this "comedy special" and it would be best to just ignore it

      Flash forward to five years on the new TikTok where some gen alpha kid plays the Carlin AI special and says “can you believe he said this?!”

    Not just her, I am also horrified. Putting words into a dead person's mouth with this technology should be illegal - you're seriously fucking around with their legacy for the rest of time.

        And it's awful every time. I'm cynical on this though and I think that eventually society will become numb to it and everyone with a recognizable face from the 20th century will just be doomed to be reused into perpetuity.

      I listened to a few minutes and it wasn't great, it's all illustrated with AI generated images too that really heightens the uncanny valley.

    George Carlin should be left to enjoy his afterlife the way God intended: tormenting a digital copy of John Candy
