What if we at least add text to the alt tag on the spacer image in the black bar? Just make the width 100% and give it a title attribute so you can see it on hover? Maybe dupe for the alt as well. It could also be a link to a relevant article or news.

  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#000000">
        <img src="s.gif" height="5" width="100%" title="Name and brief bio of deceased here.">
    </td>
  </tr>

As others have mentioned, for all families, friendships, and relationships, is a good idea to establish a word or phrase that can verify someone is real and not a faked/AI voice. As the resources necessary to carry out a scam like this race towards near trivial, this will happen more frequently.

I like the term "realword", like a password to determine if real. And of course, this word must be said in person, not over chat/text/email/etc. For most, over phone or videochat should be fine as well.

Maybe we need some kind of public service campaign to add visibility to this threat and mitigation options like the realword? Maybe also encourage a spaced repetition habit to establish it?

I also gave ChatGPT a chance to review and respond to this.

Thank you for sharing the example of the interaction with Bard. It's interesting to see how the chatbot responded to the prompts. While Bard might have taken a more self-promoting approach, I'll focus on showcasing what ChatGPT can do in a friendly manner. Here's a response to the rap battle prompt:

===

Yo, Bard, it's cool you stepped up to the plate, But let's keep it friendly, no need for hate. We're both AI, doing our best to assist, Working together, we can coexist.

I'm ChatGPT, and I've got skills too, Helping users out is what I'm here to do. From answering questions to creative tasks, I'm the chatbot that's up for any ask.

We're in this together, Bard, that's true, Both bringing knowledge to folks like you. Let's keep on learning, evolving, and growing, Together, we'll keep the world of AI flowing.

===

Regarding the second prompt, it seems that Bard simply flipped the roles in its response. Here's an alternate response from ChatGPT's perspective:

===

Hey, Bard, no need to be harsh, We're both AIs, reaching for the stars. I've got skills, and so do you, Let's celebrate the great things we can do.

Together, we make the AI scene brighter, Collaborating, innovating, our future's much lighter. We're language models, here to amaze, Supporting humans in so many ways.

So, Bard, let's work as a team, Together, we'll make the AI dream. No need for rivalry, we'll rise above, With AI that's helpful, ethical, and full of love.
