It's kinda cool the way that technology has provided novel ways for total ghouls to violate the dead.

To rob's point, I'm glad this high profile example is getting pushback so publicly and vociferously right away so maybe it will help stem the tide of further ghouls attempting this stuff.

i am cool with an ai version of my simulated voice living on after i'm dead, but i would like to produce the texts for it to speak right now while i'm still living

If I were a famous public figure I would record tons of random footage/speeches/whatever to be used after I die, scenes for movies not yet written and so on. Heck, if Bruce Willis can record all his scenes in one day for boilerplate action movies, yet alone Yul Brynner for posthumous smoking PSAs, the sky is the limit. Like, whenever I was bored I'd record three minutes of myself talking about, I dunno, frogs or something and just add it to the pile. then after I die, if someone has a use for it and wants to pay my estate, go for it.

xp josh if i understand correctly, bruce willis wouldn't even have to record him saying his scenes. they could just take the boilerplate action movie text and apply the voice of bruce willis to it.
"get in the car!""i'm fine""he's getting away!""fuck!"
bruce willis is sitting pretty right now in other words

― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Friday, 16 July 2021 16:16 (two years ago) link
Yeah, but Bruce could sell official, verified posthumous content. Like, you could get a cheap knockoff off AI Bruce saying "get in the car," or exclusive unseen footage of Bruce saying "get in the car" for big, big bucks.

the dead speak! it’s ghastly, dead people should be left alone unless they’ve clearly specified that they want their voices used for hilarious pranks or whatnot. the tech could be a godsend for living people who have lost their voice tho!

From the beginning, deepfakes, or AI-generated synthetic media, have primarily been used to create pornographic representations of women, who often find this psychologically devastating. The original Reddit creator who popularized the technology face-swapped female celebrities’ faces into porn videos. To this day, the research company Sensity AI estimates, between 90% and 95% of all online deepfake videos are nonconsensual porn, and around 90% of those feature women.
