Pam From Wenatchee Made a Hologram

[Tens of thousands of dollars for this is a lot of dollars.] I firmly believe you shouldn’t use A.I. to write a eulogy. I also firmly believe there’s (almost) no wrong way to grieve. I thus find myself rather conflicted about the story of Bill Cronrath, who appeared at his own funeral as a hologram. This was accomplished thanks to some fairly high-end technology. “When you hear they’re working with Michael Jackson’s estate, and then it’s me – Pam from Wenatchee – you do wonder how it’s going to work,” she said. The project was spearheaded by Bill’s wife Pam, who described attendees as “aghast”. I’m not sure that’s quite the reaction you want at a funeral.Link: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm29qj3e294o
