I think that my definition of "resurrect" is not the same as their definition of "resurrect".
Like, imagine that you went out and found an actress who was willing to dress up like your dead grandmother, and who would also study videos of her, and could do a perfect impersonation. I doubt anybody would say that she was "resurrected". But this is precisely what the AI is attempting to do.
To call it a "resurrection" is an insult to her memory.

Even beyond the grave she can keep making racist remarks, and that's what matters 🙏

I'm sure it's deliberately marketed that way to boost sales

"Precisely" would be getting a life size string-pull doll that says what she said and dressing it up like your dead grandma.

Ah, the joys of using Black Mirror as a tutorial instead of a cautionary tale.
Granted, that episode had a pretty tame ending compared to most.

Typical techbro taking what's supposed to be a cautionary tale as a business idea.
