Your "idiots and maniacs" link is especially poignant today, given the arrival of A.I. George Carlin upon the comedy scene. Talk about signs of the apocalypse, I can't even....

I really appreciated Kelly's (his daughter) response to it. If you want him, look at his old stuff. Otherwise, plenty of comedians EXIST that you could check out!
I know I'm like 12 hours too late on this one but I just wanted to say that the AI Carlin "special" was more or less a tongue-in-cheek joke done by Will Sasso and co. on his Dudesy podcast. Sasso is not out there pretending like this is new Carlin material or that this is anything other than the insane ramblings of a LLM that was fed all of Carlin's original material. He went so far as to say that nobody wants this and compared it to Nirvana with a holographic/AI Cobain and how awful that would be. The context is completely lost in all the fear-mongering. Regarding Kelly Carlin's response, her heart is in the right place but I think she's slightly misguided. Now if Warner Bros or HBO or someone was trying to sell this as a new special, that would be a different story. There are a lot of ethical, moral, and legal questions around AI today but what Will Sasso is doing on a dumb YouTube show that is, itself, wholly built on screwing around with AI / LLM tech ain't it.
This explanation, particularly given the wholly predictable public attention it has lavished on the project, sounds like the definition of trying to have one's cake and eat it too.

Yeah that one is INSANE. I was so angry when I saw that last night that I decided it'd be better to wait a day.

I mean they definitely wanted to generate buzz for the show - mission accomplished, I'd say.
