A weird tech-related aspect to this for me. A few weeks ago I saw a viral video of his daughter saying that the final show really was his “funeral” and that he knew it would be his last show. I’m not a fan of his really so the video kinda passed me by, and I didn’t even realize it was AI generated. Upon his death now I’m struck by how accurate the video was. And, how it was emotionally very….accurate? I had internalized it as “truth” because I didn’t care enough to verify. But, in a weird way, it was “truth” even though the specific facts of it may not have been accurate. I don’t know if I have a particular point here, just that the experience of AI infiltrating in this sideways method is …concerning.

The AI "voice-over clone" was more like default TTS David_British_1, the emotional video montage and text was what worked on people.

Ironically, the daughter's vlog [2] protesting the first fake "I'm dying" confession [1] helped the story gain traction, there was a second fake video of a random female voice claiming to be her [3] verifying the original story [1] which is probably what you saw.

The point is endless random autoplay is dupe central.
