I remember these debates about the Fred Astaire dirt devil advertisement which was over 25 years ago now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR3JzxlcKBs.

At the end of the day I think if people find the use of AI charming/effective to resurrect dead celebrities they will go along with it. This sounds like a horrible tv show/use case but by and large audiences just want to be entertained and will accept "ghoulish" resurrections if it is entertaining. Darth Vader's voice will be around for quite a bit longer for example.
