I don't think an AI or indeed most writers could mimic anything like the frantic ad-libbing he was known and loved for.

I'm not convinced. If you trained a model on all of his performances and scripts, I think it could generate something that could fool most people. Not everything it generates would be terrific, but even if only 1% is good, you just cut out all the rest.

And that's at the current state of tech.
