    If you watch the video it’s very clear from the beginning that it’s a fake voice and they used AI to write the jokes. It says flat out it’s not George Carlin. There is no way anyone could be mistaken. Also it only kind of sounds like him.

        What then? That person may be held liable for whatever crime you believe was committed.

        The comedy special not only prefaced the show with multiple disclaimers, but also jokes about it during the special.

        If someone wants to edit it to be deceptive, then that’s on them.

        The creator would have nothing to do with it.
