Should Families Keep an AI Version of You After You Die?
yi111 · reddit · 2026-10-04
A Reddit discussion asks whether families should be allowed to keep an AI recreation of a deceased loved one, now that cloning someone's voice, writing style, and mannerisms is increasingly easy. The poster sees the comfort argument but believes "grief needs a boundary" — simulations may preserve memories while making it harder to accept the loss. The core question: who consents — the person before death, the family after, or nobody? A growing debate in grief tech and digital afterlife ethics.
