imaginary scenario:
you love good will hunting, you're going thru a tough time, and you use AI to have robin williams say something gentle and therapist-y that directly applies to you and your situation -- is this wrong?
I've asked extremely high end AI questions on ethics of this nature and after thinking for exactly 14.7 seconds it responded with:
• The ethics of generating images, sound, or other representations of real people is considered no different than active imagination when done for fun and in privacy.
• However, spreading those images to others, without the original person's consent is considered a form of invasion of privacy, impersonation, and is therefore unethical.
Basically, you're fine with imagining Robin Williams talking to you, but if you record that and share it with others/disseminate the content, then it becomes unethical.
I wouldn't apply morality, but I bet it isn't healthy. I would urge this theoretical person to consult with an actual licensed therapist.
