Drew Crecente last spoke to his daughter Jennifer Ann Crecente on February 14, 2006. A day later, Jennifer, a senior in high school who was in an abusive relationship, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend, who was later convicted and is serving time in prison.

On the same note, how cool would it be to train a LLM on everything you know and you’re speech patterns and how you feel about things so that descendants could have a somewhat informed conversation with you.
Pretty sure there was a Black Mirror episode about this.
Doctor Who recently as well, and Fall; or, Dodge in Hell by Stephenson
There’s probably a boatload of it in books.

Have you read this article yet (warning: long and sad)? The AI used was the private GPT-3 Beta in mid-2021, almost 1.5 years before ChatGPT was launched.

pet sematary.
I’m all for suing the company into the ground on this one. With the abilities of genai to just create images and voices, why else, other than simple intent, would you use someone else’s likeness or voice?
Monkey Paw!
This is just heartless 🙁
