A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I imagine they're expecting some beautiful moment where she messages back "Thank you for allowing me to see my dad again! This is so beautiful and you're a saint for doing this for me!"
An astounding amount of people are incapable of processing context. And are likely just layering vaguely similar events of people appreciating artistic renditions of the deceased without understanding how profoundly they screwed the pooch.
What I find most odd about this is that they don't consider that people can do it themselves. If I wanted AI-generated anything, from a video of a duck riding a bike for whatever reason to some weeb shit as a profile picture, I’d just do it myself. Yet these types of people "create" it and then post it everywhere, so it has the worst of both worlds: it is neither exactly what I was looking for, nor is it power efficient, copyright-compliant, or looks any good.
If they have fun making their computer spit out odd stuff, then if we ignore the power draw and copyright issues, sure, do whatever. But why post it as if anyone else cared, when those other people could just have their computers (or, realistically, a big corpo's computers) make something even closer to what they actually want?
