What the kind of moral imbecile thinks sending someone an AI-generated version of her own father is a good thing?

Oh. Sloppers. Yes. Of course. They already left their morals by the door to even use the plagiarism parrots.

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 71 points 1 month ago

There are very sick people interacting with ai as if it's god. The problem goes deeper than slop

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Seriously. Yes.

I have no idea why anyone would do this.

[–] Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because some people actually think that interacting with ai recreations of your loved ones is a good way to cope with their loss.

Like some people lost their shit, when GPT4 was released, because it killed their significant other.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

That is positively ghoulish.

Quote of Zelda from the article:

“You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.”

Perfect description.

The thing I find especially stupid about this is that there are so many hundreds hours of footage of actual Robin Williams out there already. Why would you want to fake more?

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 65 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And why would they be sending them to his daughter?

Why the fuck are people so goddamn creepy?

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

Even if it wasn't AI, sending someone a lifelike representation of a loved one who's passed, doing things they never did is really creepy.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

You're in the right community! Welcome!

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 49 points 1 month ago

We stan Zelda Williams, any creep who does this to her gets the wall

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume."

That should end any discussion of AI forever and ever amen!

[–] utopiah@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Damn... yes. I didn't want to read the article but you convinced me, thanks for quoting that bit.

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you do this, in any context, I hate you and want you to suffer. This is actually braindead, deplorable behavior.

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

About as respectful to the deceased as desecrating the corpse.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago

Even suicide won't get you away from this hell.

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I kinda get why people might want to make some AI vids of the dude, but why in the blue fuck are you sending them to his fucking daughter??? "Gross" isnt the word Id use. Id think of something a lot more NSFW for that particular gaggle of cave brained cunts.

[–] NerdyKeith@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

She has a point, jeeze respect the woman's boundaries

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 24 points 1 month ago

Damn, she has a gift with words, and is using it for a good thing. Glad she learned good lessons from her parents.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

AI slop is pretty much harassment.

Those fucking dickheads looking for validation.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

The average human is so fucking stupid.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I’d rather send her Link memes (since she’s named after that Zelda). She might find it amusing but is probably tired of them by now.

Is this gif cycling faster than Neil Armstrong on purpose, or is shit broken

Oh I doubt she ever found it amusing..

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

She seemed to make a joke of it in the interviews I remember with her dad. She also assuredly has the means to change her name if she really cared.

The reduced friction to create something enables this sort of mindless interaction.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 15 points 1 month ago

Also AI Christopher Hitchens is equally stupid...

It is a massive insult to anyone's memory.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Yah, stop that, it is gross!

[–] Konstant@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

She should sue AI companies for using her dad image.

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

MLK's family said the same thing. People really don't have any basic decency anymore.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 month ago

Alas they often deport the ones who do.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Who would think that would be appreciated?

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

People who suck at being human.

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

This is so fucked up, digital necrophilia is a better word for this ai induced hell

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

they sent AI sextapes? i hope not. that's gross indeed

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Streisand effect may play against her, unfortunately

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 28 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's not really that effect, but more of a stalker problem. Why would anyone think she wants to see video of her dad saying things he didn't say? And guaranteed that the comedy being done is nowhere near his level.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Robin Williams was a comedic giant with shoes no AI could ever hope to fill.

Getting AI of him would be like wanting name brand Nutella, and then going to Family Dollar, only to find a knock off brand, but then finding out Family Dollar doesn't even stock the knock off brand. They only have the Ali Express version of the knock off brand.

I think I'd rather just watch Mork and Mindy with the real Robin Williams.

That's not how the Streisand Effect works.
