Can you really talk to the dead using AI? We tried out 'deathbots' so you don't have to

The rise of artificial intelligence has led to the development of 'deathbots,' which are designed to mimic the voices and stories of deceased individuals, allowing the living to interact with them in a new way. This technology is part of a growing digital afterlife industry that promises to make memories not only interactive but potentially eternal. While the concept of conversing with the dead through AI is intriguing, it remains uncertain how effective these tools truly are in replicating the essence of a loved one. As society grapples with grief and remembrance, the implications of using AI in this manner are profound, challenging traditional notions of loss and memory.
