When you have the chance, could someone go check on Jim Acosta? The guy seems to have lost his marbles.
Generating an AI version of a deceased shooting victim is the latest evidence that leftists truly will stop at nothing to push their agenda.
The Guardian provided more details of the interview:
The video shows Oliver, captured via a real photograph and animated with generative artificial intelligence, wearing a beanie with a solemn expression. Acosta asks the avatar: 'What happened to you?'
'I appreciate your curiosity,' Oliver answers in hurried monotone without inflection or pauses for punctuation. 'I was taken from this world too soon due to gun violence while at school. It's important to talk about these issues so we can create a safer future for everyone.' The avatar's narration is stilted and computerized. The movements of its face and mouth are jerky and unnatural, looking more like a dub-over than an actual person talking.
Well, yeah. That's because it's, you know, not an actual person.
Never mind the fact that there are survivors of the shooting whom Acosta could have interviewed. No, he decided to opt for the sensationalist angle of interviewing an unsettling machine masquerading as a young man who is no longer alive to help him get his point across.

Even the libs on Bluesky thought this was a manmade horror beyond comprehension:
Acosta tried to explain to his fellow lefties that Oliver's dad approached him about the whole thing. That didn't seem to help his case.
This "interview" does, however, bring up the very real debate about how this type of thing should be handled as technology advances.
Back to The Guardian:
The use of AI to speak with recreations of the dead is still a work in progress with imperfect movements and voices, one that comes steeped in ethical controversy. Critics say creating digitized computer avatars of real people and allowing them to stand in for the deceased opens the door for misinformation, deepfakes, fraud, and scams, making it hard for people to distinguish between what is real or not.
No matter what form these AI interviews may take in the future, you can bet Jim Acosta will be there.
After all, Jim already has years of experience interviewing the dead.
