Artificial intelligence (AI) has garnered immense attention, making previously impossible tasks possible. Examples include chatbots, virtual assistants and advanced image, text, and video production. AI regularly facilitates breakthroughs and solves novel problems. Today, we witnessed another such instance, but instead of fascinating us, it moved us to tears. A video shows a family using AI to recreate a wedding speech in the voice of the best man, who passed away just days before the event.
The footage was posted on the Instagram feed of an Australian wedding videography firm. “When your best man from above gives a speech on your wedding day. Thanks to AI, which made this possible.”
It was described in the caption as an “incredibly touching moment,” mentioning that, with a little assistance from AI, the best man, who died too young, was still able to give his speech at his best friend’s wedding. His mother ensured that he could still be there on the special day after he passed away from illness.
The clip begins by showing the groom and bride at their reception. Soon, the voice starts to play, and by the time it finishes, everyone is moved to tears, especially the groom. He appears to be crying uncontrollably, overwhelmed by the speech from his deceased friend.
Watch:
The video has over 6 lakh views at the time of reporting. The comments section, as one would expect, was heartbroken.
A user wrote, “I don’t even know these people and I’m crying.”
Another user, who presumably was present at the wedding, noted, “Not one person who didn’t laugh and have a tear in that room that night. The most incredible wedding speech moment ever!”
A third user commented, “No matter how many times I watch this, it brings tears to my eyes. What a top bloke. Absolutely love this. Sounds like the world has lost one of the greats.”
“I am bawling. This is so touching,” said another.
