it felt like someone retelling their memory of some of his bits. Like regurgitation.

That's because that's exactly what these are. They don't create new things. They use and modify existing work.

They being the writers of the joke, which are humans. The AI part is only imitating George Carlins voice and cadence.

Oh, well that changes a lot. I assumed it was AI generated jokes. The people writting the jokes should just tell it themselves. What's the point of using Carlin's likeness?
