Quote of the Day - Silence (05/05/2024)
“Voices carry. They bring you warmth, amusement, exasperation, reassurance. Never would I want to silence someone I loved. But when AI reconstructs our dead, pulling their favorite words from a database, finding their precise inflections, I cringe. The sound of someone’s voice is what we yearn for, almost more than their touch, but a disembodied voice can only be a delusion.”
- Jeannette Cooperman, “Variations on the Theme of Silence”
