Eight years after his fiancee died of a rare liver disease at 23, Joshua Borbeau, still grieving, began texting with an artificial intelligence simulation of her.
The death of the woman he loved was too much to bear. Could a mysterious website allow him to speak with her once more?

Wasn’t this a black mirror episode?

Black Mirror is the comparison being made.

This is so creeeeeeepy! I saw a tweet that said she wasn't really his fiancee, he just started saying she was after she died. He's stalking a DEAD WOMAN! Well, at least it's not a live women, but it is so unhealthy. You just know somebody is going to create an AI business creating AI replicas of dead people you can talk to forever. Then it will really be evil.

Black Mirror is slowly morphing into reality. Charlie Brooker either has a crystal ball or a time machine

If it were theoretically possible to have replies earlier than R1, I'll bet R-1 would have also mentioned the show Black Mirror.

Really, R3? I would think the reporter would verify if they were in fact engaged.

I'm not sure what you're getting at, r5, but this exact scenario was in fact an episode on season 1 of Black Mirror.

I'm a widower- what that dude is doing is NOT healthy.

That article made me feel weird and creepy and sad. His grief is really a sick obsession.

I’m surprised nobody mentioned Black Mirror yet.

Go to grief counseling and get help, then find another woman who is alive. He is a young man with a future.
No to artificial bullshit.

Just another way tech is enticing us to waste our time on this planet.
