Serious question: is this a healthy way to treat ancestors? In the future will we just keep grandma around as an AI version of her middle aged self when she passes?
Maybe a decade ago, I came across a cassette tape that he had used to record himself reading from a book for school - several minutes in duration.
It was incredibly surprising to me how much he sounded like my older brother. It was a very emotional experience, but personally, I can't imagine using that recording to bootstrap a model whereby I could produce more of his "voice".
And possibly another one, but that would be a spoiler
It is healthier for us to just let others do as they wish with their time without passing judgement.
