Ya know, if you make an “AI clone” of a live person with their consent, you’re going to rustle a lot fewer jimmies.

Is this just an extension of people trying to bring back the dead or something? Cause it comes across as pissing on someone’s grave instead, unless this specific thing was their wishes for some reason.

That’s not a clone. It’s a text prediction tool that use a dead person’s messages as input. It’s analoguous to editing together old videos to do a fake interview of a dead person.

The BBC is going for sensationalism. It’s a topic worth covering and they’re not doing it well. Journalists should focus on informing more than entertaining.

Reminds me of that time a guy died in a car crash and his sister made an ai of him speak at court.

This was quite literally an episode of Black Mirror, I’m sure nothing can possibly go wrong
