00:00 It's Benzinga, and here's what's on the block.
00:02 The estate of legendary comedian George Carlin has filed a lawsuit against the creators of an
00:06 AI-generated hour-long comedy special titled "George Carlin, I'm Glad I'm Dead." The special,
00:11 uploaded to YouTube by the Doodzy channel, featured an AI using Carlin's voice and
00:14 discussing familiar themes from his comedy. Carlin's estate alleges copyright infringement
00:19 in violation of his publicity rights, calling it an unauthorized use of a great American artist's
00:23 work. The special was created using an AI tool developed by the hosts of the Doodzy podcast
00:27 to impersonate Carlin, but his daughter said it was not a true recreation of her father.
