Emily discusses former CNN correspondent Jim Acosta’s unsettling interview with an AI-generated version of Joaquin Oliver, a Parkland shooting victim whose parents consented to the project. The AI’s unnatural, sci-fi-like responses raise ethical concerns, though Joaquin’s family defends it as a way to cope with their loss. Emily highlights the potential dangers of this technology and how it may hinder the natural process of accepting death and grief.
