In 2018, Joaquin Oliver was shot and killed in the Parkland school shooting.His parents used AI to bring him back to tell people how voting can prevent these kinds of tragedies from happening to any more families.https://t.co/BpK4zZkkbi pic.twitter.com/4Zj70f7Oid— Change the Ref (@ChangeTheRef) October 2, 2020
....couldn't they still push a "vote, my son died in a tragedy, vote to keep it from happening to others" type line just as easily WITHOUT this? How does digital necromancy and putting words into a dead kid's mouth improve that?
yes but you see, they could have done that, but they didnt, and its totally fine, because the parents said their dead underage child would have wanted it that way, and now we own their dead child for eternity, no take backsies.
...
genuinely looking forward to the imminent court case where one or both of them regrets this, but cant decide which one would be more hilariously dystopian. parent fighting parent over dead child being used as an eternal spokesperson, or parents agreeing they want it to stop, and the court waving the piece of paper they signed in their face and going "you did an oopsie"
Oh, the funniest and most dystopia thing is definitely gonna be when they bring the fucking necrogram (I'm coining this word right now) to testify in court.
