Even the labelling itself in this case is part of the satire.

I'm saying satire falls under protected speech already, period. Your position requires it doesn't.

What is it a satire on? What is the object of the satire?

My position is that it doesn't need the protection, it's perfectly fine to make AI generated content as long as it's labeled as such and there is no chance of mistaking it for the original person.

I get your argument, I just think it implies everything else wouldn't be legal. Like only comedy specials about AI are okay.
