Would the mummy in the Egyptian exhibition want their lifeless body shown to the public for all of eternity? Isn't this how the world always works: once you are dead, nobody really cares about you except maybe your trust and immediate descendants.
This also allows for the creation of a kind of "anti-history", where someone could create a fictional history for nefarious purposes.
In fact, a common undercurrent I see with many AI use cases is accelerating the breakdown of trust in society. You can no longer trust anything you read, see, or hear.
Voices of dead actors? Feels wrong.
Bootsy Collins, Snoop Dogg, Gilbert Gottfried , Arnie, Christopher Walken, Matt Berry....
Imagine the cast of Futurama voice acting the Bhagavad-Gita, or Vincent price reading twilight, this is the cutting edge shit the world needs.
I'm kinda weirded out that there are sibling comments that think this is okay.

I find it hard to believe they already have the 'Ok' from Maya Angelou. Maybe I'm wrong.

Regardless of getting the "ok" or not, this use of AI just feels morbid.
