Can AI Replace Therapy? Death Tech for the Digital Afterlife
Can AI Replace Therapy? Hey Pi is the Conversational Chatbot that Works.
https://medium.com/technology-hits/how-pi-ai-replaced-my-therapist-72c21eca6f85
The integration of AI conversational chatbots like ChatGPT in mental health apps aims to screen for or support individuals dealing with grief, isolation, mild depression, or anxiety. By tracking and analyzing human emotions, these apps use machine learning technology to monitor a user’s mood or replicate a human therapist’s interactions. Although this technology presents opportunities to overcome financial and logistical barriers to care, skeptics argue that algorithms are still unable to accurately read and respond to the complexity of human emotion or provide empathetic care.

Seance AI and the Digital Afterlife - Chatting with the Latest Grief Tech.
https://medium.com/technology-hits/seance-ai-and-conversations-with-deceased-62e96c7e6afd
Seance AI is a digital afterlife or death tech platform that uses conversational chatbot technology to give the illusion of talking to the dead. Seance AI was developed by software company, AE Studio and is operated by OpenAI’s API. The idea of a seance takes us back to the Victorian era and refers to a gathering of people trying to establish contact with the dead. The Hollywood film, Ghost put a 1990s spin on the idea with Whoopi Goldberg playing a con artist psychic reader who discovers she is the real deal.

Grief is Artificial: Death in the Hands of Big Tech - Death tech companies and scientists explore AI and grief.
https://medium.com/technology-hits/grief-is-artificial-death-in-the-hands-of-big-tech-and-science-deba060bf95f
Death tech companies and scientists are exploring innovative new designs in grief technology and pushing boundaries that are mind-blowing, like preserving interactive memories in the form of a bot or avatar that replicates the deceased likeness, mannerisms, and voice. But for some, this new overlap between the living and the dead is more fantastic than 19th-century memento mori portraits or death photographs. The technology then and now plays tricks on the vulnerable, prolongs grief, and messes with our sense of reality which is evermore virtual.
Ginger Liu is the founder of Hollywood’s Ginger Media & Entertainment, a Ph.D. Researcher in artificial intelligence and visual arts media — specifically death tech, digital afterlife, AI death and grief practices, AI photography, biometrics, security, and policy, and an author, writer, artist photographer, and filmmaker.
