AI: Revive the Dead

Dr. Phil critiques AI “grief bots,” arguing they commercialize mourning, distort authentic memories, and risk stalling the natural developmental process of grief. He warns that these bots, built from digital traces and optimized for engagement and profit, can substitute for remembrance, introduce false details, create “digital hauntings,” and entangle families in consent and control disputes. While acknowledging their short-term relief, he maintains that grief requires practicing goodbye, acceptance, and carrying loved ones forward spiritually rather than outsourcing connection to algorithms. His conclusion: love is not a product, the dead are not content, and we should honor them by living fully and showing up for the living now.
