Like, imagine that you went out and found an actress who was willing to dress up like your dead grandmother, and who would also study videos of her, and could do a perfect impersonation. I doubt anybody would say that she was "resurrected". But this is precisely what the AI is attempting to do.
To call it a "resurrection" is an insult to her memory.
Even beyond the grave she can keep making racist remarks, and that's what matters 🙏
