To me, the whole idea of a recreation of a person for my own daily comfort just cheapens the former existence of that person. It's one thing to have genuine photographs or even videos since there's an obvious delineation between memory and reality. Photos can make it even more obvious that the person is no longer alive. But to turn someone into an AI for the sake of coping (and denial) turns them into a product.

Maybe that's fine for some people. To me there's a line where it crosses over into offense. In no way do I think the status quo of my mental well-being is so important that I'd replace someone with a digital robot facsimile.
