Recently, Bao Xiaobai used AI to "resurrect" his daughter and sing a birthday song for his wife.
Bao Xiaobai is a well-known person and art director in the industry, and many people have known this "poisonous tongue" judge from "Happy Boy" and "Happy Girl", and many people have a deep memory of his sharp comments.
In 2021, Bao Xiaobai's 22-year-old beloved daughter Rong passed away due to illness, and Bao Xiaobai was in pain.
In 2022, Bao Xiaobai delved into AI technology and studied for a doctorate in related majors, hoping to reproduce the voice of his daughter who died of illness before her death. Bao Xiaobai once revealed that his daughter was unable to speak due to tracheotomy intubation before her death, and he vowed to use technology to reproduce his daughter's voice and image, "I want to give her the most perfect image and the most perfect voice, so that she can continue to survive in the beautiful digital world." "
Recently, he used AI to "resurrect" his daughter's tolerance, and on his wife's birthday a while ago, a family of three sang a birthday song together, he sighed: "AI is a tool for sustenance of thoughts, and it is also a way to express thoughts." "
As early as 2022, AFP had a similar report, "More and more Chinese are trying to use artificial intelligence to create a digital image of the deceased." ”
In China, Zhang Zewei, a post-90s generation, and his team are also doing this work – giving digital life to the dead. At present, AI cloning services have been provided to more than 600 families, more than half of whom are elderly parents who have lost their children, and each order costs between 5,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan, which can be completed in an average of one week.
According to the Yangtze Evening News, on the eve of the Spring Festival, some merchants on the e-commerce platform launched the "AI resurrection of relatives" service. For example, "fix the old ** + make ** move", "only need to provide a frontal half-length photo, you can make your mouth and eyes move, and you can let him (she) say what you want to hear" and so on.
In this regard, those who support it believe that "this is the meaning of technology, and I hope to complete a solemn farewell to the deceased".
Those who oppose it believe that to "resurrect" a loved one is to dwell on the past, and that one should not be overly immersed in sorrow.
In the era of AI, can "never come out" become a new option?
