Should we ban the use of AI to "resurrect" deceased loved ones?
With the advancement of generative AI and voice cloning, creating "digital clones" of deceased individuals using their personal data (chat logs, videos, voice clips) has become a reality. Proponents argue it provides immense emotional comfort and represents technology's ultimate humanistic care. Opponents worry it violates the privacy and likeness rights of the deceased, and may prevent the living from undergoing a healthy, natural grieving process by trapping them in an illusion.

Pro
Honestly, we should definitely ban this. It feels so disrespectful to the dead, and clinging to a digital ghost just stops people from ever actually healing.
Definitely ban it. It's super disrespectful to the dead who can't consent, and keeping a digital ghost around just stops people from actually healing.
Con
Why ban something that brings real comfort? Losing someone is brutal, and if a digital clone helps someone cope, we shouldn't take that away. It’s a highly personal choice.
Honestly, why ban it? If someone finds comfort in hearing their late mom's voice again through AI, let them. People should be allowed to grieve however they need to.
We shouldn't ban this. When my granddad passed, I would've given anything to chat with him again. Let people find comfort however they need to, grief is hard enough.
Honestly, grief is incredibly hard. If an AI clone helps someone get through losing a partner, we shouldn't ban it. Let people find comfort where they can.
感觉还是禁了吧,天天对着个AI假人说话,其实是在逃避现实。逝者也需要安息啊,强行把他们“留”在世上,不仅不尊重人,对活人的心理健康也没好处。
