Y'know, in my darkest moments, I've taken solace in the fact that suicide would also mean I wouldn't have to partake in capitalism anymore.
This feels like literal hell. Not even suicide will let you escape.
You're not actually "in" the picture. The camera doesn't steal your soul.
Distinction without a difference
Howso? If you're dead then you've "escaped", the shuffling of pixels by living people after that has no effect on you. You've gone off to wherever it is that dead people go (be it an afterlife or nowhere at all).
From my perspective James dean sure hasnt
The filmmakers aren't going to literally bring him back to life. He's still staying dead.
It uses my likeness. This might lead people to believe, consciously or not, that I endorse the message, that's the point of the technology.
It doesn't matter if I or my likeness has convinced someone of a view in a practical sense, so does it matter morally?
I'm addressing your comment that "This feels like literal hell."
No, it doesn't. Once you're dead you don't feel any of this.
Yes, it does. I didn't write "this will feel like literal hell", I wrote "this feels [...]", as in I am currently experiencing said feeling.
That seems like even more of an overreaction to me. But I guess if you feel that way you feel that way. Maybe you should avoid the news for a while, there's going to be a lot more applications for AI like this one coming up.
