The story makes me reflect a lot on mortality and AI's role in possibly changing kind of what it means to grieve and remember.

It was clear from talking to Stacey that she was really close to her brother. You know, he lived with her at one point and even walked her down the aisle at her wedding. One of the reasons Stacey felt so strongly about humanizing Chris was because she said the main images of her brother shown during the trial was of him getting shot on the road and his autopsy photo.

Yeah, she was keenly aware of the great power and responsibility that comes with AI. You know, while working on the script, she kept checking in with herself, making sure that what she wrote reflected him, his Facebook posts, his go-to phrases, and not just what she wanted him to say.

Yeah, I mean, talking to other legal experts, it sounds like this is the first case, at least in the U.S., of using AI to create a victim impact statement. A lot of times when it's used in the courtroom, it's kind of in this concealed manner and then they get caught.

But in this case with Stacey, right, the video opens up with an avatar essentially saying this is not the real Chris and this was made using AI.

Yeah, I think just kind of to Brandon's point, right? In Stacey's case, the point that she wanted to make using AI was about forgiveness. But people down the line who might be using AI in a similar way might have a more malicious intent.

Even just stepping out of the courtroom, right? The story makes me reflect a lot on mortality and AI's role in possibly changing kind of what it means to grieve and remember. One tidbit that stuck with me from talking to Stacey was how badly she wanted to include her brother's chuckle in the video. Apparently, it was a big hallmark of who he was.

But all the clips of Chris laughing were too noisy to work with. And the whole ordeal made her actually go into a closet and record a nine-minute video of herself talking, laughing, enunciating certain words so that her family wouldn't have the same struggle she did if it ever came down to it.
