>From what I could glean over a dozen conversations with my virtually deceased parents, this really will make it easier to keep close the people we love. It’s not hard to see the appeal. People might turn to digital replicas for comfort, or to mark special milestones like anniversaries.
At the same time, the technology and the world it’s enabling are, unsurprisingly, imperfect, and the ethics of creating a virtual version of someone are complex, especially if that person hasn’t been able to provide consent.

It's a bit sad. From what I read earlier its taken from a series of answers given by the user about the deceased. It's extrapolating from the memories given to it but the answers it gives that are outside its inputs are just fabrications. I really think that this could be a massively unhealthy thing for a great many people. Part of grieving and life is letting people go.

This is my struggle as well. Death is part of the cycle, and the reason why life is so precious and beautiful.

That's the real problem here, it's using very loose data points to construct a bot simulating a person you probably knew closely.
