BumpingFuglies comments on After an Arizona man was shot, an AI video of him addresses his killer in court

Woman's brother was killed in a road rage incident
In preparing her victim impact statement for the court, she struggled to find a way to properly represent her brother's voice
Her husband works with AI and helped her generate a video of her brother for the victim impact statement
The video was very well received and apparently true to her brother's personality. Though she didn't forgive the killer, she knew her brother would. So, in the AI video, "he" did.
After all the real people made their statements to the judge, the video was played
The judge loved it and thanked the woman

Should clarify that the woman wrote the script. The AI just generated the voice and image. The AI read the woman's script who wrote it in the tone of her brother putting aside her own feelings.

Appreciated – my apologies that I wasn’t clear. I was curious about the connection to “did we learn nothing from doom 2016” that the OP referenced.
