Generative AI supercharges what has come to be known as "digital necromancy," conjuring of the dead from digital traces they leave behind.
Here After and Replika startups have launched drawing on generative AI in order to reanimate loved ones for the bereaved.
This technology, for some, seems to cross a cultural and perhaps even ethical line with many experiencing a deep unease.
Instead, we use them as conduits to their memory, standing in for them as proxies for us to think of or communicate through. To suggest we routinely get confused or delude ourselves about such media is a misconception. That's why general worries about digital necromancy are wildly overblown: when we overly concentrate on their strange and sinister aspects, to adapt the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein , we lose sight of the ways in which these new technologies speak to and resonate with what we are and do as human beings already.
