in the 80s AVG built a robotic Andy Warhol but he was enthused about it. Abraham lincoln is an American icon. Not sure someone who still has family in living memory is the same category despite being a sort of icon for a big corporation and a big emerging ethical concern of the 21st century seems to be bodily autonomy and consent. I see a lot of AI generated 'animated' photos, of the living and the dead. I tend to see a lot of people ignore someone's consent like they ignore media piracy, with a disinterested immoral hand-wave.
- givinguflac 1y agoI’m seriously blown away that you equated a person’s consent for their own autonomy and legacy to media piracy. What?
- schlauerfox 1y agoI live in America so 'moral rights' aren't a thing, but in europe it appears to give artist/creators rights over how their work is portrayed. How our legacy is carried forward of our own likeness or our work is a moral question, and cultural, and defines our values.
- ronsor 1y agoIn America, the implementation of "moral rights" would unquestionably be a First Amendment violation.

- bombcar 1y agoThere's some fuzzy line somewhere - building an animatronic person just after they passed against (what would have been) their will or that of close relatives seems wrong. But at some point personalities and people themselves fade into history, and it becomes a historical figure (such as Lincoln).
