I guess I figured it was written by Kultgen with the help from ChatGPT? It would have been a noteworthy feat for a built-from-scratch-by-training-on-MADtv-episodes foundation model was capable of generating the Carlin video at the click of a button. That’s still obvious to the average person, isn’t it? Maybe not? (And is that officially the world we live in now?)

Anyhoo. Still fair use, and even more so. A joke doesn’t have to rise to a certain level of hilarity to deserve 1st A. protection.

Even when, especially when, the joke is on us.^0
