I am on the fence about this

This man was murdered during road rage and his family used AI so that he could do a victim impact statement in court
[media=https://youtu.be/cMs-_8etNts?si=BvnSPAIbmm_VN6jW]

He stated that he forgave his killer. But how would his family know how he really felt? I would not want this to be done for my loved one

Grief can act is unexpected ways but that sounds manipulative, impersonal and cold.

The statement should be of the effect on the bereaved family, not a projection onto the deceased, of their own feelings.

Worse, asking a computer to concoct it, is weak, insincere and frankly, rather cowardly.

I appreciate they would have found it very hard, but if they wanted to express sincerely how they imagine the deceased might have felt, they should have had the courage and common decency to write it personally from their own knowledge of him.

Not contract the task to a mere computer that has no feelings and can "know" nothing of the man and his family beyond hard facts like ages and relationships.

It would have been better not to have written anything.
