Is the text generated by AI? Are the "eulogies" by real people or AI?

The text on all pages looks very much LLM-generated, and I think all "user comments" there are fake too. (Edit: I mean "what people said" sections.)

I like the idea of the site, but not the execution.

It feels weird to read "nostalgic recollections" that pretend to be human, while in reality come from gen AI.

Pangram rates it as 100% AI generated.

Heartwarming: even if you die and nobody cares, an AI can write your eulogy!

I got the sense that the content is AI assisted, but with an attentive turn of human attention layered on top.
