Fucked up. The court allowed a murdered man's family to write a script that was read by an AI video of the dead man, as a victim statement. Screwed up. That's the family's statement, not the victims. The family should make that statement, not a faked video of the victim. www.bbc.com/news/article... - ThreadSky

So...in a way they had a cartoon make a statement.

Yeah. No different than the sister performing the speech with a sock puppet. Those are not the victim's words in the victim's statement.

It wont end there. Youre gonna have funerals where an AI will be playing final messages to the berieved.
...and conveniently mention the AI programmer as the sole inheritor of their shit.

There is something so insidious about the way people are using AI to bring people “back” from the dead. This shouldn’t be normalized.

Especially not in a court where they're granting a fictionalized person the rights of a real person.

Nothing about this is the person. It's a hijacked identity and blatant manipulation.

Yup. Doesn't really matter what words the family put into the man's mouth. They're not his words. He's dead and didn't say this stuff. Totally fucked up.
