I was going to go with John Wick as being a less-digital version of this idea

Came here to post exactly this, love this show. Can't wait for the new season, there are supposed to be 6 episodes which is awesome considering the other seasons only have 3 each, October can't come soon enough. I think my favorite episode was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Bear_(Black_Mirror)

From a strictly scientific point of view, it's an interesting challenge to have a bot that's trained to mimic interaction with an individual that's no longer alive. If there is enough data points on their lives and and how they interacted with other people, we should be able to create a profile and a trained bot that could to some degree interact as that person would.

But from completely social and human perspective, I question the morality of such a product. Is it really fair to feed into someone's need to hold on to something that no longer exist. Would this product solve a problem, or create a mirade of other issues. I personally would rather be part of a solution that helps people overcome grief and move on instead of feeding their immediate desires of holding on.
