With the advancement of generative A.I. and personal assistant bots, it was only a matter of time until they started to replicate the deceased. It’s one thing to argue the ethics of having an artificial recreation of a human; but an entirely different conversation when your Alexa starts screaming because her human is being cremated. Have these recreations somehow tapped into the souls of the living and dead, or are they purely generating fiction; or perhaps, are they simply destined to generate the same result as the living example?

TW: This episode contains profanity, sexual innuendos, references to guns/gun violence, mentions of death/the dead, spirits, insanity, amnesia, government conspiracy, corporate espionage, and general chaos.
