A quotation from M. Night Shyamalan

COLE: I see dead people.
 
MALCOLM: In your dreams? (Cole shakes his head.) While you’re awake? (Cole nods.) Dead people, like, in graves? In coffins?
 
COLE: Walking around like regular people. They don’t see each other. They only see what they wanna see. They don’t know they’re dead.
 
MALCOLM: How often do you see them?
 
COLE: All the time. They’re everywhere.

“Using AI to #resurrect the dead has raised #ethical questions elsewhere. In 2020, Jang Ji-sung, a mother of four in South Korea, was virtually reunited with an AI-generated #avatar of her dead 7-year-old daughter. Ji-sung had said this helped her say farewell to her child, but “many #psychologists have come up and said this might, in some cases, make the #grieving process longer,” Rojas said.”

Rest of World · Companies in Mexico embrace AI to resurrect the deadUse of AI on images of the dead is unregulated in the country, leaving cybersecurity experts worried about the potential for deepfakes and identity theft.

A quotation from S. P. Somtow

The ways of dead people are not our ways. They have a very oblique way of expressing themselves, and often they’ll tell you something that can be interpreted many ways; it gives them a way out while preserving their reputation for infallibility.
