    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.

    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.

    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?

        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?
