(New York, NY) — Opinions are mixed over a new interactive app that reportedly allows mourners to “talk” to the dead.
“HereAfter A-I” creates digital replicas of the voice and personality of deceased loved ones.
Orthodox Catholic philosopher Joe Vukov says having a way to “keep people around who we’ve lost” is well-intentioned. But he also cautioned that people are more than “just this abstract intelligence.”
A video of a woman “meeting” a simulation of her deceased mother has gone viral with more than 30-million views on YouTube.
