Study asks what people want an AI 'ghost' of a lost loved one to say
Wortins’ read
Grief tech has quietly become a real product category, and this study is useful because it asks the question most builders skip, which is what bereaved people actually want from a simulated version of someone they lost. The finding that people forgive factual slips but not wrong intimate details suggests emotional authenticity matters more than accuracy, which cuts against how most AI products are currently evaluated. This is worth watching as a preview of the ethical debates coming for any AI trained on a specific, no longer living person's data.
