How it works:

Advancements in AI are opening doors for new ways to remember loved ones who have passed away. Technologies like large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, and deepfake video generation, have the potential to create virtual representations, or "AI ghosts," that could allow interaction with a person's digital persona.

Bullet points:

AI advancements allow for creating virtual representations of deceased loved ones.

These AI memorials could help maintain a connection with the deceased, particularly for those who struggle with the grieving process.

These AI ghosts could personalize interactions based on available data, potentially offering a sense of comfort and familiarity.

Experts warn against long-term use due to potential emotional harm and psychological issues.

My thoughts:

Forgetting isn't the enemy. It's actually a key part of healing. But that doesn't mean throw away all the memories. It's about finding new ways to remember our loved ones, ways that honor them and help us move forward
