There's a Black Mirror episode about this... I certainly think it's possible but extremely psychologically damaging

I definitely see the pros and cons to it. There's definitely a psychological effect and I could see the moral argument being that people would use it as a crutch and would never true "move on" or accept that the person has truly died. But on the other end I think it would help a lot of people accept that the person has gone. I think it would truly make losing a family member or friend a more bearable process.
I know this isn't the first time this type of discussion has come up, but with AI for the first time it feels relatively achievable.
It hits at home for me because my dad is 79 and my mom is 75. Obviously the technology won't be there most likely before they pass, but especially for my mom I'd absolutely give up an inheritance to save an AI version of her that I could hear and talk to. It truly would be a new worls and psychologically there would be no way to know how it would truly impact people until it's actually available and used.
I guess the real question is, if/when it does become possible, is it something you would do for a loved one? Is it something you would do for yourself so that your husband/wife, children or other family members have an AI version of you to interact with? Or would you be too concerned about a psychological impact?
