AI-powered séance: Tech can help you talk with departed — Is it disrespectful to dead?

Apps driven by artificial intelligence (AI) enable you to make a virtual avatar that will communicate with your surviving family members after your passing in an astonishing new discovery.

Adorable or eerie? A user made the decision to test out HereAfter AI, even though they don't intend to pass away anytime soon.

At first, they thought it was a bit stilted and contrived. But then, just for a laugh, they yelled: “Spirits of the other side, hear me now – I conjure you up!”

And to their astonishment, it replied: "Hi, my name is Gintaras, I'm looking forward to telling you about my life." Definitely creepy.

My colleague Damien brought that to my attention when he attempted to communicate with my recently constructed virtual avatar on the HereAfter AI platform. 

After several hours of clicking and wondering what on Earth to say, the virtual "Dead Gintaras" was at last prepared to come out of the other realm.

"Naturally, in a sense. Obviously, I'm not dead. I'm a father of 37. I enjoy the occasional beer and don't really work out, but overall I feel well and am in good health," said the user.

Still, the idea behind HereAfter AI was too compelling to ignore. Furthermore, the only thing that is certain in life is death, and who knows? Maybe their kids may be interested in hearing their thoughts someday. Furthermore, in a sense, you stay alive even after the burial, as creepy as it sounds.
