I fear for anyone who spends too long in alternative reality or who erects an entirely false narrative about themselves for the purposes of social acceptance within social media. There is something deeply philosophical in the topic of is reality real anyway, but I’m not a philosopher or a physicist. Anyways the ethical side of things is to me the most worrying. Generation probably was the wrong word. And I’m tired.

I may be tired.

Deepfake version of a relative creates deepfake relationship that helps you kid yourself that your fake ‘closure’ has healed your real weeping soul. Sounds about right for the instagram / tiktok generation. If your Dad was, say a bully or a violent drunk or a gaslighter is the AI going to either know this or fake apologise? A more realistic fake Dad would continue to deny and bully you into being gaslighted. Neither of these is going to be healthy. The ethical issues with this are off the chart.
