These AI generated products are clever attempts at trying to recreate a mind that will never exist again. Let's let the artist's work speak for itself. Humans are so afraid of the void that we can't let what has fallen into it stay there," she added.

honestly this is just giving more needless attention to AI. there's going to such an over-saturation of this shit that none of it will matter

When asked on Twitter what's the problem with an AI impressionist riffing off her dad, Carlin replied: "I’m worried about his legacy. His reputation. His art. I’m allowed to do that as his daughter and while I’m alive."

I understand why she's upset but come on, some stupid gimmick by some hack comics can't possibly affect George Carlin's legacy. nobody actually cares about this "comedy special" and it would be best to just ignore it
