George Carlin has been dead for 15 years, but artificial intelligence doesnt seem to mind.

A video billed as an AI-generated George Carlin impersonation was posted Wednesday on YouTube , to the chagrin of Carlins daughter and many fans. The material was generated by an AI program called Dudesy, and delivered in a simulacrum of Carlins speaking voice.

My dad spent a lifetime perfecting his craft from his very human life, brain and imagination, Kelly Carlin wrote Wednesday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter . No machine will ever replace his genius.

These AI generated products are clever attempts at trying to recreate a mind that will never exist again, she continued . Lets let the artists work speak for itself. Humans are so afraid of the void that we cant let what has fallen into it stay there.

The hourlong special, George Carlin: Im Glad Im Dead, uses an approximation of Carlins voice for digs at topics like mass shootings , transgender people and former President Donald Trump . It begins with a disclaimer from a computer-generated voice: I just want to let you know very clearly that what youre about to hear is not George Carlin. Its my impersonation of George Carlin.

Carlin, generally regarded as one of the most influential stand-up comics in the history of the form, died in 2008. Later that year , he became the first comedian to be posthumously awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

The Dudesy program appears as a co-host on a podcast of the same name , alongside actor Will Sasso and author Chad Kultgen.

Kelly Carlin, who is also a radio host, helped write and produce some of her fathers work while he was alive. Following her disavowal of the Dudesy video, one person accused her of only being concerned about money.

Im worried about his legacy, Kelly replied Thursday . His reputation. His art. Im allowed to do that as his daughter and while Im alive. Its important that these corporations dont rape & pillage art. Dont assume you understand who I am and what values I live by.
