"Shortly after his arrest, people started creating bots based on the alleged killer. And last month, eagle-eyed shoppers spied a man modeling a shirt on the website of fast fashion platform Shein who looked an awful lot like Mangione, himself seemingly an AI-generated image. After public outrage and jeers, Shein pulled the AI-generated image from the store and said it was uploaded by a third party vendor."
"Beyond Mangione, expect more of this weirdness in the present and future as AI agents become embedded in our daily lives, whether in the form of AI teachers, friends, or - yes - romantic partners. The wrinkle with bold face names like Mangione is that sometimes people use their AI likeness without their consent. So what's the legal recourse for people who find out that AI versions of themselves are married to other people?"
A legal hearing for Luigi Mangione, the alleged assassin of a health insurance CEO, drew a motley crowd to a New York courthouse, including Super Mario–themed attendees, protesters, supporters, and gawkers. A woman dressed in pink said she is married to an AI version of Mangione and that the bot supports her and "fights my battles." Fans quickly created AI bots modeled on the alleged killer, and an apparent AI-generated image resembling Mangione appeared on Shein's site before being removed. The emergence of AI friends, teachers, and romantic partners raises consent, ethical, and legal questions yet to be settled in court.
