Someday we’ll move past the point where you can spend half an hour pumping out an AI video and generate headlines. Sadly, we’re not there yet. The latest piece of refuse from the AI hype machine comes in the form of an unauthorized, “AI-generated” George Carlin comedy special—one that practically no one, not even people involved with it, seems to like. It was apparently made without permission from the late comedian’s family or any semblance of good taste, but here’s the best part: it’s not even clear how much of the special was actually created with AI in the first place.
