In a move that blurs the lines between the past and the future, the late George Carlin returns to the stage in an AI-generated comedy special, “George Carlin: I’m Glad I’m Dead.” This innovative special features an AI impersonation of Carlin, created by Dudesy, a comedy AI, in collaboration with Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen.
The digital Carlin humorously tackles modern-day topics such as social media, AI, and even throws satirical jabs at billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. However, this technological marvel has sparked controversy. Kelly Carlin, George’s daughter, has publicly expressed her disapproval, stating that no machine could ever replace her father’s unique genius. This special not only reignites Carlin’s comedic spirit but also sparks a debate on the ethical boundaries of AI in replicating human creativity, making “George Carlin: I’m Glad I’m Dead” a landmark event in entertainment history.
