They also weren’t selling it as far as I know. They put the whole thing on YouTube and prefaced with this is an AI trying to recreate a Carlin stand up set.

I would disagree on the selling point. If you provide something for "free" that is advertisement supported, you sold it to an advertiser.

Is the video monetized?
