    • Woman’s brother was killed in a road rage incident
    • In preparing her victim impact statement for the court, she struggled to find a way to properly represent her brother’s voice
    • Her husband works with AI and helped her generate a video of her brother for the victim impact statement
    • The video was very well received and true to get brother’s personality. Though she didn’t forgive the killer, she knew her brother would. So, in the AI video, he did.
    • After all the real people made their statements to the judge, the video was played
    • The judge loved it and thanked the woman

      Appreciated – my apologies that I wasn’t clear. I was curious about the connection to “did we learn nothing from doom 2016” that the OP referenced.

    For this ? The guy who was brought back through Ai was killed in a hit and run then they brought the ai version of him to court to give a statement as if he were there.

      I was wondering what happened in “doom 2016”. And now I can’t tell if you’re summarizing the article or what happened in doom 2016.

        So basically the uac was fucking around with technology and went to far in their pursuit and opened a portal to hell in an attempt to harness it as a power source. Then the game itself kicks off after everything goes wrong and all hell breaks lose.

  Technology isn’t inherently good or evil. It entirely depends on the person using it. In this case, it had a very positive impact on everybody involved.

    To me this is the equivalent taxidermying a person then using them as a puppet. Sure it might have a positive impact on some people but it’s immoral at best.

      This. I don’t see how it’s any different from making an ‘ai video’ about a murder victim thanking his murderer for easing his pain, in order to ‘make people feel better’ after a rich perpretrator games the system and is acquitted via dubious means. It’s blatant manipulation.

        Wait but no, not like that, only the positive way I see it.

      What makes it immoral? Nobody was hurt in any way, physically, emotionally, or financially. They disclosed the use of AI before showing the video. It even helped the perpetrator get a smaller sentence (IMO prison as a concept is inhumane, so less prison time is morally right).

        It just feels wrong man. I’m of the belief that we should let the dead rest in peace. Bringing them back through ai or other means fundamentally goes against that. Im also against taxidermy but that’s not the debate were having rn. This lands in that category for me. I’m neutral on ai broadly but this is where I draw the line.
