To be honest it is a bit creepy if it wasn't from Robin Williams' personality.

If you hear a message you brother left you is one thing. But listening to him taking when someone else is faking his voice and saying whatever they want.

That's the only difference, those video recording where of you brother.

These deep-fake things are someone else speaking in your brother's voice. A corporation using your brother to sell products and services.

Nothing to do with him and his personality

Yeah, there's a significant difference between a recording and generating.

What are your thoughts on things like Photoshop? As an example https://old.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/psqkz6/how_you_remove_a_ex_from_your_family_picture_with/

That is generating an image, and in turn an event that didn't happen.

There are also cases of "repairing" old photos. Sometimes an old black and white photo is torn or faded, but we can restore it, we can add back things that aren't there.

After someone passes away you often hear people say "I wish I could hear their voice again" or "I wish I could have one last conversation".

I'm not going to deny that there are A LOT of terrible things that could be done with this technology. I just wonder what positives exist and how we might improve things.

I guess the two categories didn't cover the whole space of possibilities.

But many cases are clear-cut.
