A Computer Wrote My Mother's Obituary

The funeral director said "AI" as if it were a normal element of memorial services, like caskets or flowers. Of all places, I had not expected artificial intelligence to follow me into the small, windowless room of the mortuary. But here it was, ready to assist me in the task of making sense of death. It was already Wednesday, and I'd just learned that I had to write an obituary for my mother by Thursday afternoon if I wanted it to run in Sunday's paper. AI could help me do this.
