    I found this interesting. The AI said it believes in forgiveness.

    “To Gabriel Horcasitas, the man who shot me, it is a shame we encountered each other that day in those circumstances,” the AI Pelkey says. “In another life we probably could have been friends. I believe in forgiveness, in God who forgives, I always have. And I still do.”

    But the victim’s sister, who created the AI did it to try to get the maximum sentence for the defendant.

    The prosecution against Horcasitas was only seeking nine years for the killing. The maximum was 10 and a half years. Stacey had asked the judge for the full sentence during her own impact statement. The judge granted her request, something Stacey credits—in part—to the AI video.

    I had this conversation with some non-tech savvy relatives a while ago. I think because they’d heard that adage they were under the impression that just by virtue of something being posted online it will remain there forever. Its more like once you post something online you can potentially lose control of it. So it could disappear completely if the site goes down, the file is corrupted or you remove it yourself and the platform or host you used didn’t keep a backup. But also someone could download/ screenshot it and even if whatever host agrees to delete it and any backups you still have no way to stop it proliferating, so you should act like everything you post will remain online forever.
