The core problem is that finishing someone's work isn't just filling in blank spots. It's making a thousand tiny judgment calls, and every single one of those decisions came from a living person's experience, doubts, and private intentions. AI can mimic brushstrokes or chord progressions, but it can't replicate the reasoning inside the artist's head. That's where the real art lives.
And here's the systemic effect people overlook. Once studios treat unfinished works as AI-completable inventory, it changes the whole incentive structure for living artists. Suddenly your rough sketches become assets waiting for a machine to "finish" after you're gone. That chills creative risk-taking. Artists will hoard their experiments instead of sharing them openly.
We're not honoring the dead by doing this. We're replacing their voice with a simulation and calling it authentic. The work stops being their statement and becomes the studio's product.
