'What The F**k': Jim Acosta Slammed Over 'One Of A Kind Interview' With Dead Parkland Victim
HuffPost
The former CNN host said he felt like he was "communicating" with Joaquin Oliver, one of 17 victims who died in the school shooting.
Former CNN host Jim Acosta faced backlash on Monday after sharing what he called a “one of a kind interview” with an AI version of late Parkland school shooting victim Joaquin Oliver, a bot created by his parents to honor their son on what would have been his 25th birthday.
The interview — shared to Acosta’s SubStack page on Monday — depicts Oliver, one of 17 victims who died in the 2018 massacre, remarking on the cause of death and stressing why it’s “important” to talk about gun violence in schools.
The AI — when asked for its “solution” to gun violence — emphasized a need for a mix of stronger gun control laws, mental health support and community engagement.
The bot of Oliver proceeded to speak in a noticeably higher tone before discussing the late teen’s interests in the Miami Heat and “Star Wars.”
Acosta — who declared that the technology left him “speechless” — called the conversation “so insightful,” telling the late teen’s father Manuel Oliver that it felt like the first time he really got to know his son.
