"Daughter of George Carlin Warns Entertainers: Beware of AI-Generated Comedy"

An AI-generated George Carlin routine has sparked controversy, with Carlin's daughter and fans criticizing the use of AI to impersonate the late comedian. The AI, called Dudesy, created an hour-long YouTube special impersonating Carlin, leading to concerns about the use of copyrighted work and the impact on the legacies of deceased artists. Legal questions and lawsuits are arising around the use of generative AI tools, with concerns about the unauthorized use of copyrighted material. While some argue that the AI impersonation could bring more attention to Carlin's work, others, including his daughter, are worried about preserving his legacy and reputation.
