Although George Carlin passed away more than 15 years ago, the comedy legend is being revived by a brand-new comedy show produced by artificial intelligence.
With a contentious collection of views on Trump, trans Americans, reality TV, and technology, the AI icon is true to form. An AI twist on Carlin’s observations on contemporary affairs can be found in the hour-long comedy spectacular from Dudesy. Podcaster Chad Kultgen and Mad TV alum Will Sasso created the AI humor platform Dudesy.
“For the next hour I’ll be doing my best George Carlin impersonation just like a human being would. I tried to capture his iconic style to tackle the topics I think the comedy legend would be talking about today,” a YouTube description written by AI reads.
The title of the special, “I’m Glad I’m Dead,” and the topic matter, which features Carlin’s well-known social satire, are all designed to evoke the spirit of the late, controversial comedy icon. 2008 saw Carlin’s death from heart failure.
It’s unclear if Carlin’s family is involved in the project.
