Jack Osbourne responds to online criticism regarding an AI-powered interactive digital avatar of his father, Ozzy Osbourne. According to reporting from NME and Billboard, Osbourne addresses the backlash during a livestream and says the project will be “tasteful” and not “lame,” characterizing it as something his father would likely accept. Jack Osbourne also frames the plan as being handled with care, emphasizing that it is not intended to be a gimmick.
Both outlets report that the comments come in the context of public reaction to the avatar concept, which uses interactive or AI-driven technology to create a digital likeness. While the articles focus on Osbourne’s response rather than detailing the technical implementation or the terms of the avatar’s release, they agree on the core points: Osbourne acknowledges the backlash, states his view that the result will be tasteful, and suggests Ozzy would be interested in the idea. The coverage does not indicate how widespread the criticism is or provide additional statements from Ozzy or the developers beyond Jack’s comments.
