Nauti's Take
AI grief tools can genuinely help people process loss — for some, speaking with a representation of a loved one provides real emotional support. But this case crosses a clear line: using an AI clone without the person's knowledge or consent turns comfort into deception.
It's an urgent call for clear guidelines on how digital twins of the deceased can — and cannot — ethically be used.
