The other side seems to think AI can somehow channel what a dead artist would have wanted. But it's just guessing, filling in gaps with patterns borrowed from everyone else. That's not finishing their vision, that's creating something new and slapping a famous name on it. It feels dishonest to the artist and to the people who love the original work.

Imagine a painter dies with a canvas half-finished, and a studio lets AI paint the rest. People go to see that painter, but they're really looking at a clever copy. That's not honoring someone's work, that's putting words in their mouth from beyond the grave. It just feels wrong.

A real artist's work is full of choices and happy accidents that make it theirs. AI can only average out what other people have done, so the finished piece stops being that person's voice. Fans deserve the honest, unfinished work, not a polished fake wearing a familiar name.
