This is so incredibly cringe, I want to claw my eyes out. Also I'm 100% certain she asked the AI to add the unborn kid for clout.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Jfc. People are going to be worshipping these fucking things. This lady thinks what? That the spirit of her son possessed the transformer and added himself to the photo?
It’s a fucking hallucination, lady.
The Foundation series, based on the novel of Asimov, introduced a religion where humans worshipped intelligent robots. Their religion is called "The Inheritance"
Wait, she's HAPPY about this? I thought she was going to be horrified. 🤦♂️
If he was lost as a miscarriage... How would the Ai even have any reference for what he would look like?
Probably just read posts about the expected child, created a node for that person, deduced what they would look like, then never connected the dots that that person didn't make it.
It's called generative AI for a reason
Yeah but it would still need some sort of reference to base it's generated image on...
AI needs no reference. It's fake crap + baby pictures in that case.
So idk why people are so against going to a therapist. Just please make sure it's not AI
Some people are just so delusional when they miscarry. I mean I get it. Between the flood of natal hormones and the hopes and dreams people inevitably build up over their child in the womb, miscarrying hurts.
But ...
Funerals for your miscarried child? Memorial shrines? And now this delusional woman's AI slop?
Maybe you could walk away from a living being dying inside you and then you having to pass that dead corpse with zero trauma, but let grieving families grieve. A memorial service is a perfectly reasonable response to losing a child, even if they never lived outside you.
Memorials that stay up for a decade afterward? Yeah, that's healthy.
Grieving is inevitable (which I acknowledged right at the start if you'd bothered to read), but there comes a point where it's less "grieving" and more "spiralling into an inner hellscape of uncontrollable pain and sorrow that hurts you, your family, and anybody around you who cares for you".
Guess which this one is.
You said in your post funerals were going too far. That is what I take issue with.
The grieving is normal and healthy. The AI delusion is not
Extended grieving to the point of making fantasy lives for children that never were is not healthy either.
She could be outraged over the inclusion and take great offense... or she could spin it positively and move on. She chose the easier response.
She chose the delusional response, not the easier one.
I've seen children fucked up by mothers who keep shrines to their miscarried children (note the plural) and talk to them like they were actual children growing up, making up enormous fantasy lives for these collections of cells her body rejected for whatever reason (good or bad).
These children grow up confused and/or resentful of the time and attention their mothers put into fantasy lives for non-existent beings. Their inability to cope with what is one of the most common medical outcomes of pregnancy (estimated at around 1 in 4 in aggregate) is actively harming their actual, living children who they successfully brought into this world.
And now degenerative AI is going to make this sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much worse.
No worse than having a flying, bearded imaginary friend imo
If you're talking to your flying, bearded imaginary friend and hearing answers? Yeah, about the same.
It was a late miscarriage.
