I like George Carlin but did not watch everything he made. This video actually has some decent jokes and it really is presented as he would. I am not an expert but in my opinion it could have been him.

As a Carlin and comedy mega fan, I'd be interested in what you consider a joke in there. Personally, this is the sound of hell. There's no soul, no humor, and only the presence of fake laughter to imply where the jokes are supposed to be.
I only listened a bit of the link, skipping around to get the gist, but I got this feeling. Carlin had a talent pointing out the darker sides of human existence in a way that left me feeling a bit more hopeful, and able to cope with them. I'm not sure what feels off, but the AI generated bits lack that magic. It's Carlin-style content thats missing the punchlines.
