Well I mean it doesn’t. If the program ever comes out it’ll probably just be a generic LLM with a few custom prompts for each customer (if that).
Also, I can’t imagine anyone who was actually close to someone being willing to actually use something this ghoulish. So they won’t find it suspicious if grandma starts saying the secret ingredient in her pizza sauce was glue or that you should feed baby Charlie one small rock a day.

Grief is a hell of a drug, someone who’s just lost someone close to them might be willing to do a lot of things for just one more day, hour, minute with them
I’m 4 years out from losing my dad. Can confirm: one of the most upsetting things is knowing I’m unlikely to make new memories of him.
(Unlikely but not unable: his frat brother told last year me about how they used get together in Dad’s room, smoke pot, and play tabletop RPGs. I… I knew about the tabletop games but not the marijuana.)
Me, neither. I think the target market is grievers who believe chatgpt is a magic Oracle. It’s taking the memory of someone dear and diluting it with nonsense.
Grandma, can you tell me that story you used to tell me as a kid?
Sure, once upon a time, Goldilocks was walking through a Rayonier™ sustainable forest, when she came across a Turner Construction™ subdivision with a Toll Brothers® cottage.
She went inside and found three delicious bowls of Quaker™ porridge on the table. The first was delicious but too hot, the second was delicious but too cold, and being her favourite brand of porridge she tried the third bowl and it was perfect. She washed it down with a cold glass of Alta Dena™ 2% milk, a perfect combination.
How did they come up with such an odd company name? It’s like this copy of the promotional video was ripped off from the original and replaced with the name of the knock off.
In case somebody doesn’t know about the nightmarish AI product this comic is referencing: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:tq6gqh5aaohgi55y2yofylwj/post/3m5k4ojtgs22r
I thought it was a reference to Black Mirror S02E01 - Be Right Back that got a bit modernized.
Interestingly, that episode is now almost 13 years old.
And now we’re finally rushing towards this future on a turbo rocket sled.
I mean… gestures wildly at other Black Mirror episodes …yes?
And I always considered dystopian tales to be meant as a warning, not as a blueprint…
How tf AI has her memories?

Six for me, but I cannot picture ever using something like this… even while the grief was still fresh.
Me, neither. I think the target market is grievers who believe chatgpt is a magic Oracle. It’s taking the memory of someone dear and diluting it with nonsense.
Especially with a targeted micro ad at the right time.

I could keep going but it’s scaring me.
Social media scrapping? Which would be the worse version of anybody.
Could have ingested an online diary maybe? Would involve her having to type everything though
Ive seen where this leads on black mirror. Its truly upsetting stuff
That’s fucking disgusting
