Many on the Dudesy Reddit believe that it’s entirely made up, with some suggesting that even the Carlin special was written by Kultgen. I definitely think that generative AI was used here, because even though it’s crap, there is somehow a great deal of it.

Maybe it's time for me to see the world and update my priors on this but I haven't seen evidence of a generative AI constructing a joke. Based on that evidence, if the special (which I have not seen and refuse to see) contains jokes, I would imagine it was mostly written by human, with maybe some assistance to pad it out to an hour of material. Either way, fuck the whole thing.
