“If you’re really that sick you should be in the hospital” Please stop saying this to chronically ill people. If we went to the hospital every time we suffered, we would live there. Hospitals can’t help us and they often make us worse. We are on our own, and being subtly gaslit doesn’t help.

Horcasitas argued that the AI video was “inadmissible” and “carried undue emotional weight.”

“Specifically, he contends the ‘lifelike AI recreation of the victim conveyed an authority and authenticity’ that had a ‘psychological impact’ on the sentencing judge. More broadly, he argues that ‘[a]llowing AI-generated statements . . . dilutes the constitutional requirement that sentencing evidence possess minimal indicia of reliability,'” the court documents said.
