Some pros:
Bereavement. It won’t be for everyone, but perhaps some people who have lost loved ones might like to feel that they are still alive by bringing them into modern day videos.
Fantasies. You hear about how some people like to live out fantasy lives in video games. I heard one about a severely disabled teen or young man who gets to be a big strapping strongman in his favorite video game. Imagine an old lady who can create a video of herself at age 25 free soloing El Capitan by deepfaking herself into an Alex Honnold video.

Also, why? Why would we need that? I don't care to see a family member from 4 generations ago walking to the refrigerator in some video. No, this tech will be used to amuse and/or influence the intellectually challenged.
- paggle 7y agoIt’s not about why you don’t want it. It’s about why someone else does. Some people get their dead pets stuffed and keep them in their house. Maybe someone might do the same digitally with their loved ones. Maybe a couple will add in their son who died of a heroin overdose in 2016 to Mom’s 70th birthday video. Maybe you won’t. Both are fine.
