A recent AI discovery resurrected my late father's handwriting—and I want anyone to use it.

“My dead father is “writing” me notes again A recent AI discovery resurrected my late father’s handwriting—and I want anyone to use it.” - by Benj Edwards - Sep 12, 2024 5:00am CST

I find this use of AI, like with 99% of the “uses” for AI to be not only disturbing as all hell, but shows that we are creeping closer and closer to bizarro world.
