How the advancements in A.I. can bring back our dead spouses, but what good would that, do? Trap us in the griefs of losing our beloved partners of life longer? No thank you! Translated…
My Friends & I, Don’t Want to Build Digital Identities of Our Husbands, So They Will Appear Before Us, We See Them, But We Can’t Touch, it’s Ultimately, a Mirage
“If you can spend a couple of thousands of dollars, and bring your husband back to life, will you?”, my friend inquired. We went for a brunch date, and as we were engaging in casual conversation, she’d started flipping through the magazine at the café, there was an exclusive interview of how a music producer became an A.I. entrepreneur, that attracted us both, who’d lost our husbands, to read.
When Our Beloved Partners Die, Should We, Make a Digital Identity for, Them?
I once saw an elderly woman with her hair all white, on a talk show, as she’d talked of how her daughter in her primes, had died, and started tearing up, she’d sighed that the fates were too unfair, that for a long time, she and her husband only sat and stared at one another, without words of, exchange, then, they’d turned their loss into what drove them, they cut themselves off from the world, and started getting into the artificial intelligence advancements in technologies, and in another dimension, they were able to get their own daughter’s voice, her physical form, back, then they were able to, slowly, get out from the grief of loss, but she’d admitted, that “I don’t want to get over my daughter’s death at all!”, and because this sort of a heart wrenching, grief that runs too deeply, can trap someone, that’s what drove them to design a platform using just a few thousand dollars, to help give those who are grieving for their lost loved ones, or beloved pets, some comfort.
from a year ago…off of YouTube
Many years ago, my friend’s husband died in his nap, and this hit her too hard, that giant tree that used to shelter her from all the rains and winds, and sun too, suddenly, fell, and her son was still in school, being inept to cope with her own living means, she’d fallen into, a huge, panic then, and relied on a group of coworkers, friends to help her get through the setting up of her husband’s final affairs, and every time she couldn’t sleep, she’d, felt anger, she couldn’t, forget her life partner, how he’d, died and left her, behind, without leaving a single, world. She’d started crying endlessly through her days then, and she’d, looked, frail and ill then.
Her daughter felt awful, and took a leave of absence from work to stay with her, and arranged for the two of them to go on trips in the country and abroad too, gotten her to take the courses at the local community college, cramped up her schedules so full she couldn’t have time to feel loss and sorrows, and it’d helped her regained the weights she’d, lost too. It’d been so many years, she’d already, gotten out of her own grief, put her tears up, hidden them inside that deepest corner of her, heart, although she’d never forgotten her beloved husband, “but I don’t want him to come back to life in front of me now, after all, that’s the collective images of him made by A.I., it’s not real, why would I need to deceive myself like that?”, she’d told, that she didn’t want to backtrack, and asked me, how about you?
Those Whom We Love are Dead, We Ultimately Need to Learn to Get on with Life on Our, Own
Neither do, I. My husband was bedridden for many years, I kept close to his side, took care of him the best I can, the path of long-term care has no end, my husband and I were, stuck together, in the deep dark abyss of his physical condition ailing slowly for a whole of eight, nine, years, I’d done my best, so had, he, and, every single interaction we’d shared with someone will one day, end, and ultimately, he would no longer be, trapped by his, ailing, body, and we both were, relieved. And no matter how much I didn’t want him to go, I still must, let him, go. The Buddhist master once told, that we are still together, because we had unpaid debts to one another, and now, as one of us dies, it is because the debts are, paid, up. I now have no debts on me, and although, I will be alone from here on, out, but I also have my path I need to go down. My thoughts of him shall always, stay, and now we’re separated by life and death, so, why not, just, keep ourselves well individually? I’m certain, he wouldn’t want me to get trapped in misery too long, that I’d, impacted my own, health.

It’s not about the few thousand dollars of the costs, my friend and I both didn’t want to have the digital forms of our husbands to be with, us, we can see them, but couldn’t, touch, like a mirage, we just want to, keep on, going forward in our, lives, and work hard to live each day to its, fullest.
And so, this is why, this person and her friend don’t want to use the A.I. technologies to bring their husbands back, because no matter how realistic their husband made by A.I. can be, it ultimately still wouldn’t be the husbands that they’d loved and lost, besides, why the HELL would you want to, stir up the dead anyways? Just let the dead stay DEAD, grieve fully and properly, and move on!
