That's not what this is about though.

AI should follow the standard norms and conventions we've established up to this point. Which, generally speaking, would prohibit using someone's likeness without their consent to make a profit, and also not using the likeness of a well loved, dead man, in such a trashy way.

You know, basic human decency.
