Midjourney's recent AI tool allows users to animate images, bringing a personal touch to memories of lost loved ones. Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian shared his emotional experience animating a childhood photo with his mother, sparking a discussion about the intersection of technology, memory, and grief. Experts like Julia Shaw warn that while AI can evoke powerful feelings, it poses risks of distorting memories and creating false ones, complicating how we remember the deceased and reshaping our emotional landscape.
This is how she hugged me. I've rewatched it 50 times. Ohanian's touching use of AI to animate his late mother raises questions about memory and technology's role in grief.
AI is a perfect false memory machine, says Julia Shaw, highlighting risks that this technology can overwrite our memories and distort our relationship with the past.
