So, Calum Worthy's genius idea is an app that lets people speak to avatars of their dead loved ones. I gotta say, the idea isn't very popular as everyone is bashing it in the comments section. The app is being launched through his AI company, 2wai, which has been condemned for having glitchy apps in the past. The video itself is creepy, starting with a pregnant mother speaking to a hologram of a dead granny who is later seen speaking to a 10-year-old boy. Like, who wants to open their phone to ask their dead grandparents for advice about their day!
This is another instance of a celebrity with a platform using AI to promote an insanely depraved idea. I don't think it is any different from the Tilly Norwood saga, really. Surely AI can be used to create more important tools than this.
