Are AI Death Bots a good thing?
I couldn't create a bot to mimic my dad.
I miss him something terribly. I think about him every day. I cry at night a lot about it. I can't quit grieving like it was yesterday.
But I don't think I could allow AI to mimic him. To me, that is pushing it. And where's the soul in it all?

I've done something like that but I'm not ashamed. Well, it's not talking to the dead. That's forbidden in scriptureShawn wrote: Wed Feb 04, 2026 12:03 am I couldn't create a bot to mimic my dad.

I'm not sure I would use such a thing because there is too much missing information that AI would never have about my loved ones that I mourn. Can you imagine if that type of AI was also put into a robot? With the likeness of your loved one who has passed? That would be gruesome!!

Some people would pay to have that.Lambie wrote: Thu Mar 05, 2026 3:37 pm I'm not sure I would use such a thing because there is too much missing information that AI would never have about my loved ones that I mourn.

I think some people grieve so much that they would do anything to feel that person again.
If I lost my wife, I wouldn't want a robot version of her, but I think I would grieve myself to death.
