Just imagine if you were able to bring your loved one back from the dead. Sounds crazy, right? But what if you get the response from artificial intelligence?

It’s not about ChatGPT , DeepSeek, or Gork. Here you may be surprised at what I am writing about. The limitless possibilities that AI can do.
The impossible to the endless unimaginable possibilities, like bringing back the dead. Yes, now AI can do that for you, and it’s already happening.
You may not believe what you are reading , but I am going to share with you a real-time story of Mr Siku Wu from China.
Heartbreaking Story of Mr. Siku Wu
Meet Mr Siku Wu who lost his only child, Xuan Mo, when he was only 22. Unexpectedly, a sudden stroke took Mr. Siku Wu’s son’s life, at which point Mr. Wu and his wife’s lives were shattered.
It was unexpected for both of them. Wu recalls his son as a keen sportsman and a kind person. Who always had a desire to help the needy and had a good sense of right and wrong as well.
Really—Can AI Bring Back the Dead?
We all know technological advancement is not new; it’s always the upgrade in every field, but it remains the same question or the boundaries between : is it right or wrong?
It has both advantages and disadvantages. So Mr. Wu has decided to take advantage of this new technology and began to search for a way to bring his son back—through artificial intelligence.
He then spent a tremendous amount of money on hiring AI companies to clone his son. Not only the clone of his son’s face but also his voice, gestures, and personality—Company even has the massive database created that had troves of information about his son.
Digital Ghosts
It’s not science fiction. Most of these AI companies’ aim is to emerge around this idea. Create an avatar that will be a copy of a human. From thinking process to speech patterns.
Recently, there are many companies that have emerged in the United States; they are known as ghost spots.
It’s a booming industry in China; you can get a basic avatar within twenty days, and it will cost you around 10,000 to 20,000 yuan (approximately $1400 to $2800).
Additionally, these avatars can also make a video call whose face and voice are digitally imposed with those who are no more. Though this kind of technology brings back the debate about ethics.
Are We Crossing a Line?
These technologies are trying to develop new ways for us to remember those who are no more with us or who have departed from us, but don’t we cross the boundaries?
Resurrecting the dead as a digital avatar is no longer imaginary. In fact, it is almost expected, but taking advantage of the technology will later be a disadvantage for the human race. Just because we can make something doesn’t mean we should.
Initially, it may give comfort and temporary relief for a certain period; it may help us to come out from the trauma of losing a loved one , but in the long run, it will be traumatizing to the self.
It’s an Illusion—Against Law
Just imagine you are able to get back your loved one from the dead just by clicking a button. How will it be? You may feel comfort for the moment, and often you want to do it frequently. Does that really help you, or do you get stuck in a loop and lose the sense of reality?
Do you think it is better to use these types of technology to get back our loved ones who died? Personally, in my opinion, it is better to take time to face the pain and get out from the trauma naturally rather than using this kind of technology, which will never make us move forward, and I personally feel it’s against the law of nature.
