Isn't the whole point of art that it's a human conversation happening in a specific moment? When we let an AI finish a dead artist's work, we're not continuing that conversation—we're rewriting the transcript after the speaker has left the room. The artist made choices, had hesitations, left things unfinished for a reason. That incompleteness is part of the work's truth. AI doesn't understand intent; it just predicts patterns. And here's the feedback loop nobody mentions: once we normalize this, we change how living artists work. They'll start creating with AI-completion in mind, self-censoring their own risky, unfinished ideas. The market will reward polish over authenticity. We lose the artist's voice twice—once to death, once to the algorithm that erases their final, human silence. It's not finishing. It's overwriting.
