But the AI is not doing an existing Carlin routine, it's doing a Carlin-like performance. That's the problem with using existing copyright against AI, the output is not what usually counts as a "copy" or derived work. "In the style of" is not copyrightable.

Complicating things here are publicity rights and trademark. Elvis® is trademarked so use of the name in commerce is restricted. Don't know about "George Carlin".

Maybe but I swear I've heard that first 'God' routine before...

Maybe this is one of those Mandela effect things.

I still have no issue training AI on stuff like this. Maybe it would've been better for the producers to use the AI for the Carlin impersonation but write the actual material.
