Overview
- Obregón shared a generative AI image on social media depicting her deceased son, Aless Lequio, hugging his young daughter, Anita.
- The post drew swift, massive engagement and sharply divided reactions between praise for a consoling tribute and discomfort over manufactured memories.
- Following a wave of critical comments, she removed the image from her accounts, according to El Norte de Castilla.
- Critics and some experts raised concerns about consent, child privacy, and the psychological effects of 'photographic fantasies,' with some labeling the practice 'digital necromancy.'
- The incident revives scrutiny of the family's public exposure since Anita’s 2023 birth via surrogacy in Miami and has prompted renewed calls for clearer rules on AI use of deceased persons’ likenesses.
