Comment on ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Used AI For A Dead Voice Actor’s Performance, With Permission

Do you have a problem with the family of a deceased writer who inherited the rights to their work given the writer’s will deciding on the publishing agreements for that writer’s work?

Should we have to resort to necromancy in order to even touch any new agreements regarding the work of the deceased?

This isn’t the creators work. This is using ai to create new things. This is akin to having an ai write a new lord of the rings sequel.

  Oh, so you’d take issue with something like writing Lord of the Rings scripts based on the books, and then making movies based on the scripts?
  
  Or maybe you have a problem with something like the family agreeing to the creation of a TV series covering time periods outside the author’s original scope of work?
  
  What a horrid world we might end up living in if things like that were allowed to happen…
