Here's a fact that might surprise you: when Mozart died, he left behind hundreds of unfinished fragments. Nobody back then thought about having a machine finish them. And his music is still considered genius. So why the rush now?
Look, AI can mimic style, sure. But it can't replicate intent. When an artist dies, their work is done—whether they wanted it that way or not. Using AI to finish what they left unfinished is basically guesswork dressed up as technology. It's like if someone found half a letter you wrote, then had a computer complete it. Would that really be your words?
Studios pushing this are chasing profit, not preserving art. They want to milk franchises and sell nostalgia. But art isn't content to be productized. Let dead artists rest. Their incompleteness is part of the story.
