I Used ChatGPT to Resurrect My Dead Father
Listen to more stories on the Noa app. I n 1979, five months after my seventh birthday, my father crashed his plane into an orange grove and died. Dad, a pilot, had gone up in one of his twin-props with a friend and lost control after some sort of mechanical failure occurred in the skies above Central Florida. The funeral was closed casket--an uncommon thing for Catholics back then--because my mother did not want people to see the work the undertakers had to do to stitch my father back together. So I never did get to say that last goodbye.

Chinese mourners turn to AI to remember and 'revive' loved ones
As millions of people across China travel to the graves of their ancestors to pay their respects for the annual tomb-sweeping festival, a new way of remembering, and reviving, their beloved relatives is being born. For as little as 20 yuan ( 2.20), Chinese netizens can create a moving digital avatar of their loved one, according to some services advertised online. So this year, to mark tomb-sweeping festival on Thursday, innovative mourners are turning to artificial intelligence to commune with the departed. At the more sophisticated end of the spectrum, the Taiwanese singer Bao Xiaobai used AI to "resurrect" his 22-year-old daughter, who died in 2022. Despite having only an audio recording of her speaking three sentences of English, Bao reportedly spent more than a year experimenting with AI technology before managing to create a video of his daughter singing happy birthday to her mother, which he published in January.

Using Generative AI to Resurrect the Dead Will Create a Burden for the Living
Given enough data, one can feel like it's possible to keep dead loved ones alive. With ChatGPT and other powerful large language models, it is feasible to create a more convincing chatbot of a dead person. But doing so, especially in the face of scarce resources and inevitable decay, ignores the massive amounts of labor that go into keeping the dead alive online. Someone always has to do the hard work of maintaining automated systems, as demonstrated by the overworked and underpaid annotators and content moderators behind generative AI, and this is also true where replicas of the dead are concerned. From managing a digital estate after gathering passwords and account information, to navigating a slowly-decaying inherited smart home, digital death care practices require significant upkeep.

AI app's ability to resurrect lost loved ones sparks fears technology is crossing the fantasy-reality Rubicon
Orthodox Catholic philosopher Joe Vukov discusses the moral implications of using artificial intelligence to cope with the loss of loved ones. HereAfter AI is giving mourning families a space to talk with digital replicas of their deceased loved ones in what some are calling an eerie blurring of the lines between fantasy and reality. The interactive app is the latest venture in the rapidly-advancing tech space, allowing mourners to keep the voice and personality of their deceased loved ones alive and chat with them using artificial intelligence. While the innovation might sound unique and comforting to some, others say the development's moral implications could restrict the significance of life to simple characteristics that attempt to replace a once-living person. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTH CARE: NEW PRODUCT ACTS AS'COPILOT FOR DOCTORS' "The motivation driving this sort of conversation is clear – we want to keep people around who we've lost," Orthodox Catholic philosopher Joe Vukov said Sunday on "Fox & Friends Weekend."

"Longtermism" and AI: How Our Billionaire Overlords Want to Live Forever
A small global elite, call them "Davos Man" if you wish, owns an increasing share of global income and wealth. The 2009 global financial crisis, the 2020 pandemic and the 2022 War in Ukraine have swelled their fortunes. They are wielding increasing power over international affairs. We live in a new (neo-) feudal economy, with these (tech) elite billionaires our new overlords, while the middle class is shrinking. The prospects for escaping poverty are gradually evaporating for most of the poor.

Would YOU resurrect your dead friend as an AI?
Anyone who has lost a loved one can speak of the grief that lingers in their absence – but, what if you were given another chance to communicate with them? It's a complex question that's moved to the forefront of debate as emerging technologies make it increasingly possible to interact with artificially intelligent personalities, allowing people to see and talk to individuals who aren't really there.
This Company Wants to Resurrect a Revolutionary Video Game Idea
Decades ago, before the Internet was a gleam in Uncle Sam's eye, computers were stupid. Not in the sense of being primitive, though they were also that, but in the literal sense of being internally braindead. So stupid, in fact, that we nicknamed this prehistoric, biz-angled species of keyboard-and-monitor "dumb terminals"--slang for intentionally complexity-allergic vessels into which content was beamed by sophisticated, centrally located machines that filled rooms like squadrons of refrigerators. In old-school parlance, we called those machines "mainframes." In today-speak, you might call them cloud servers.

Telling Interactive Player-specific Stories and Planning for It: ASD + PaSSAGE = PAST
Ramirez, Alejandro Jose (University of Alberta) | Bulitko, Vadim (University of Alberta)
Around the same time, a system called Player-Specific From Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" to George Lucas' Stories via Automatically Generated Events (PaSSAGE) "Star Wars" to BioWare's "Jade Empire" to campfire stories (Thue et al. 2007) was proposed, which used AI techniques to baseball commentary, story-telling is a fundamental to model the player as he/she experiences a narrative-rich part of entertainment. A strong narrative resonates with our video game. Such a continuously updated player model was minds, hearts and souls and keeps us engaged. We remember used to dynamically adapt the story, tailoring it to the current the stories of our childhood and retell them to our own player. Unlike, ASD, PaSSAGE did not have any automation children. Story-telling has delighted and saddened the human at the design stage and relied on a human designer to race since the beginning of time and shows no signs of foresee all possible ways of a player breaking the story and slowing down. But can it be improved with technology?
