Grief, technology, and taste collide after Liam Payne's partner shared AI images of the late singer, drawing a fierce backlash from friends and fans.
Kate Cassidy, who has spoken openly about her struggle to come to terms with Payne's death, posted AI-generated images of the couple that some called 'distasteful' and 'unnerving'. The controversy has reopened questions about how artificial intelligence is used in mourning, consent after death, and the responsibilities of those closest to public figures.
