Was written and created by the family... they are victims. they just wrote it in the context of the deceased.

Do you mean that the script was written by the family, and it was only "performed" by generative AI? That's very interesting, and not something I heard anywhere else.

The 37-year-old Army combat veteran’s family created the AI statement using a previously recorded video, a picture and a script written by the victim’s sister, Stacey Wales.

“I said, ‘I have to let him speak,’ and I wrote what he would have said, and I said, ‘That’s pretty good, I’d like to hear that if I was the judge,’” Wales told AZFamily.

From the article. Where Wales is his sister.

Wales herself is not ready to forgive Horcasitas, but when she wrote the script, she says she knew her brother would speak of forgiveness. “He stood for people, and for God, and for love,” she says.

The outrage in the comments about this is stupid. It's clear that this is an impact statement from the family... the "AI" used here was to just generate the image of him reading the impact statement that his sister wrote.

I love AI more than anything in the world!

I too enjoy putting words into mouths of other people and call it a method of getting my own argument across.

Waaah cry more!

I added to the conversation by answering the question directly asked. Which someone who read the article would have known the answer for.

I'm sorry that reading comprehension is hard for you.

Acting like more than half of the comments on this post aren't arguing in bad faith and thinking that the AI generated everything wholesale (content and script included) just shows how delusional you all are.

Edit: The funny part is that mkwt, the person I replied to, updooted the post. meaning that they legitimately found that information useful since they went out of their way to updoot. So you, and the other 5 people who don't understand how to read, can pound sand.
