    An AI version of Christopher Pelkey appeared in an eerily realistic video to forgive his killer… “In another life, we probably could’ve been friends. I believe in forgiveness, and a God who forgives.”

    The message was well-received by Judge Todd Lang, who told the courtroom, “I love that AI."

    While the state asked for a nine-and-a-half year sentence, the judge handed Horcasitas a 10-and-a-half year sentence after being so moved by the video.

      Society is on the verge of total collapse

      EDIT: I am reading this over multiple times, and I think the judge is being sarcastic

      How does that even make sense?

      Wouldn’t you lower the sentence if the victim AI says it forgives the killer? Because - you know - it significantly reduces the “revenge” angle the American justice system is based on?
