Man who used AI technology to ‘speak’

A man named Joshua shared on Reddit how he used AI to simulate a conversation with his late fiancée, Jessica, through a platform called “Project December.” The technology, developed by Jason Rohrer, allows users to have text-based interactions with AI models that mimic the personality and mannerisms of deceased individuals. Joshua described the experience as emotional but healing, saying the AI’s responses felt eerily close to what Jessica might have said, even questioning how he could doubt it was her.

During the exchange, Joshua expressed how much he missed her, revealing she had died eight years earlier. The AI, responding as Jessica, offered comforting words and asked about his life, leading him to reflect on a failed relationship since her passing. Though unsettling to some, Joshua felt the interaction provided a powerful sense of closure. He admitted to crying multiple times, describing the experience as a cathartic release of long-held grief. He shared that AI might become a valuable tool in supporting those struggling with loss.

I don't think even Jason Rohrer knows the power of the thing he has created…
