AI-generated alternative realities are now admissible in court.

It’s really obvious you did not read anything in the article. It’s a victim impact statement. It’s not being used as evidence. State law allows for victim impact statements to be delivered in any manner. A family is grieving and looking for closure, but all you seem to see here is another example of AI gone amok. I cannot understand your rationale and behavior without explanation.

This is a sleight of hand to say "it isn't used as evidence." It's used before sentencing. It is commonly considered as an element of sentencing. For instance in Colusa County CA they provide the following information:
"Victims or survivors have a legal right to inform the judge about how the crime has affected their lives and can ask that a defendant receive a particular sentence."

I wonder if the court would find it acceptable if the video were done in the style of "disfigured zombie bound in clanking chains" or "ghostly apparition moaning in tormented pain". The possibilities are endless, I suppose, for anyone who's read A Christmas Carol.

The court is happy to let AI be used against a defendent, but god forbid the defendent uses AI as a tool for their pro se defense.
