Why should we always take the pessimistic viewpoint? Think of all the beautiful things that can be built with something like that. All the tutorials that could be created for any given subject. All the memories that could be relived. Upload a photo with your grandparents, give it context, and see them laughing and playing with you as a toddler. Feed it your favorite book and let it make a movie out of it. I mean, fuck me, the possibilities are endless. I don’t feel depressed. I feel blessed to be able to live in an era when all these marvelous things materialize. This is the stuff we read in science fiction decades ago.

Exactly. People just aren't seeing this. You don't even have to limit the fake memories to real people. Don't have a girlfriend? Generate videos and photographs of you and your dream girl traveling the world together, sharing intimate moments, starting a family. The possibilities are so exciting. I think the people who hate this idea are people who already have it all. They're not like me and you.
Idk about you but I would not consider AI-generated memories of my grandparents even remotely close to being an authentic experience whatsoever. One of my grandparents passed before I was born, so any synthetic depictions of us are fake. That frankly sounds like a post-apocalyptic experience, if not worse than that.
