Look, I get the appeal. I really do. Nobody wants to see a story left unfinished or hear an album that stops mid-song. But here's the thing — finishing someone's work with AI isn't really finishing it. It's guessing. And the artist isn't around to say "no, that's not what I meant."
We're talking about dead people who can't consent. They can't say "hey, that line you generated doesn't fit my vision." They can't correct the AI when it misses their tone or their intent. It's not their work anymore — it's a simulation of their work.
And once you open that door, where does it stop? Every unfinished sketch, every rough draft, every half-baked idea gets "completed" by a machine. That's not honoring an artist's legacy. That's turning their life's work into content.
