Ana Schultz, 25, loaded Snapchat My AI, an artificial intelligence chatbot for one of the world’s most popular social media platforms. She asked the ChatGPT-powered AI what to make for a meal, not because she needed recipes, but because she wanted to hear her late husband’s voice.
“He was the chef in the family, so I customised My AI to look like him and gave it Kyle’s name,” the Rock Falls, Illinois, resident told CNN. “Now when I need help with meal ideas, I just ask him. It’s a silly little thing I use to help me feel like he’s still with me in the kitchen.”
