Netflix's true crime documentary, "American Murder: Gabby Petito," employs generative AI to recreate the voice of murder victim Gabby Petito for dramatization of her journal entries and texts. While the production team claims collaboration with her parents, audience reactions range from fascination to discomfort. Critics highlight ethical implications, questioning the morality of using AI for a deceased individual’s voice without clear consent. This choice reflects deeper concerns about exploitation in the true crime genre, balancing storytelling integrity with respect for the victim and her family.
At the end of the day, we wanted to tell the story as much through Gabby as possible. It's her story.
That is absolutely NOT okay. She's a murder victim. You are violating her again.
