AI companies are selling simulated conversations with deceased loved ones — and it's causing harm. Drawing on interviews with bereaved people, clinicians, and researchers, this episode analyzes how AI recreations create “digital denial,” hinder acceptance, and can produce complicated grief. We compare therapeutic models, ethical frameworks, and design alternatives to show why conversational replicas are psychologically dangerous and often exploitative.

What We'll Discuss:
- 🧠 Digital denial and grief disruption
- 🤖 The uncanny valley and emotional harm
- ⚖️ Consent and ethical violations
- 💔 Case stories of dependency and isolation
- 🛠️ Safer AI: memory tools not chatbots
- 🏛️ Policy and industry responsibility
