Creepy!

That is just creepy. I don’t think this would be a good thing for people dealing with mental health issues.

I wonder how they are planning to handle the very real possibility for abuse this technology means.

There is a line in technology which should not be crossed. This crosses such a line.

Just what everybody wants, their parents scolding them from the grave !

I had a cousin who left a voice memo on my answering machine before they died. I used to listen to it periodically, it was nice to hear their voice.

Not sure if I want my AIs using it though...

I'm sorry but I don't want the voice of my deceased loved ones coming out of a machine. That's just some next level creepiness.

This has the same notion to me of those 'touring' hologram shows (like ABBA). It's all based on what was said or done by that person before. And I wouldn't want a 'ghost' talking to me, that's basically what it is. A ghost in the machine. No thanks.

People who don’t want to use it don’t have to… nobody is putting a gun to their heads forcing them to use it! It’s really good for people who miss their loved ones after they pass on and can keep them around as it helps them!
