Would you let AI resurrect a dead comedian? Reddit debates personal ethics lines
TheLastKyuna · reddit · 2026-10-10
A Reddit user mused that within five years, AI could plausibly generate their late favorite comedian Norm Macdonald reading his entire book on stage, with improvised anecdotes and realistic audience reactions — but after reflection, they decided they wouldn't do it, feeling it disrespects the legacy he spent his life building.
They noted that most AI enthusiasts carry a "with AI we get to do whatever we want, censorship kills the dream" mentality, and that ethics talk focuses on corporations rather than personal responsibility. A heavy AI user themselves, they asked the community: do you have a personal line with AI generation, or none at all?
