American Murder: Gabby Petito has once again brought the infamous murder of Gabby Petito to the fore, a case that was a source of national interest back in 2021. The new docu-series delves deep into the case, exploring the motive behind the murder, the victim, and the perpetrator. It has also been one of the most-watched crime shows in recent weeks.
However, one thing in the documentary seems to have caught the attention of the viewers, and not in a good way. Netflix opted to use Petito's AI-generated voice to read out entries from her journal, which deeply unsettled a lot of fans across the world. In fact, many fans came forward to criticize this decision and claimed it was disrespectful to the woman who died.

"I'm watching #AmericanMurderGabbyPetito and HOLY SHIT. They've used AI voice recreation to have Gabby Petito reading journal entries and text messages from the last months of her life...I'm assuming they got permission from the family, but this is a deeply unsettling use of AI."- yet another user wrote.
It seems all the viewers of the show were deeply unsettled by this use of Petito's voice and it has raised concerns about the use of AI, especially when used in cases like these.
