Re:Reply Topic Date Posted:2025-07-06 11:40:55 I find AI very creepy -- yet I can't turn away.

Re:Reply Topic Date Posted:2025-07-07 08:02:39 There are plenty of videos like this on YouTube. It's good to see people who normally look so grim smiling, I suppose it was because they had to stay still, no instant photography back then, and holding a smile is difficult. Easy to forget that none of what we're seeing is real. |

Re:Reply Topic Date Posted:2025-07-07 12:19:08 I wonder, given the chance would I want to see my parents ‘alive’ again, having no film of them before. It would be wonderfully sad I suppose. |

Re:Reply Topic Date Posted:2025-07-07 01:57:29 I was thinking on similar lines myself. I've got a photo of my great-grandmother who died in 1928, could she be "brought to life" by AI? |

Re:Reply Topic Date Posted:2025-07-07 02:19:43 The answer is yes. I don't know how it's done. One of those "apps" maybe or a program(me) of some sort, but I know someone who did it with an old photo. While the relatives are still living, it was kinda neat and kinda weird to see them moving and smilling as young people.

Re:Reply Topic Date Posted:2025-07-07 02:43:26 There was a storyline last year on the UK's most popular soap opera Coronation Street in which a character had her deceased young son "brought to life" by AI, it/he even interacted with her. Creepy to the rest of us but comforting to her. Not sure I'd go that far. |
