Short Summary

  • Jim Acasta interviewed an AI simulation of Waqen Oliver, who died in the 2018 Parkland shooting, sparking immediate public revulsion.
  • The interview unified diverse political factions (left and right) in criticizing the act as ghoulish, manipulative, and ethically bankrupt.

As someone who lost a child, I understand wanting to hear your child’s voice, but I don’t want to hear some computer mimicking her voice. That’s creepy and weird.
