Following lawsuit, rep admits “AI” George Carlin was human-written


Creators still face "name and likeness" complaints; lawyer says suit will continue.

Anticipating potential free speech defenses, the lawsuit argues that the special "has no comedic or creative value absent its self-proclaimed connection with George Carlin” and that it doesn't “satirize him as a performer or offer an independent critique of society.” Kelly Carlin, the late comedian's daughter, told The Daily Beast earlier this month that she was talking to lawyers about potential legal action. The lawsuit asks a court to force Dudesy to "remove, take down, and destroy any video or audio copies... of the 'George Carlin Special,' wherever they may be located," as well as pay punitive damages.
