'I Loved That AI:' Judge Moved by AI-Generated Avatar of Man Killed in Road Rage Incident
How the sister of Christopher Pelkey made an avatar of him to testify in court.
An AI avatar made to look and sound like the likeness of a man who was killed in a road rage incident addressed the court and the man who killed him: “To Gabriel Horcasitas, the man who shot me, it is a shame we encountered each other that day in those circumstances,” the AI avatar of Christopher Pelkey said. “In another life we probably could have been friends. I believe in forgiveness and a God who forgives. I still do.”
It was the first time the AI avatar of a victim—in this case, a dead man—has ever addressed a court, and it raises many questions about the use of this type of technology in future court proceedings.

We have this interesting combination of high tech and low tech literacy, before you know it praying to the machine spirits will be a mainstream religion.
Let's hope. At least the machines are real
Praying to a machine that isn't listening isn't really any different than praying to the Moon.
Why wouldn't the A.I. listen? My phone listens to every word I say.
There's no one there! It's mindless, listening is an active process that requires a person.
Sheep can hear, when a preacher talks to a crowed of sheep, the sheep hear him. A sheep is not a person.
Sheep can hear, they don't listen.
But let's say they do!
Should you worship sheep because they can hear your prayers?
You're the one bringing up listening as a requirement for prayer. For me personaly, sheep are for fuckin'
I'm pointing out that praying to the machine spirits is like any other form of prayer.
Do you even disagree or are you just being argumentative?
