Imagine if we dedicated the same resources towards mental health and countering loneliness with people instead of machines.

Are these the digital age's memento mori, @sdorward.bsky.social?

It feels like the opposite to me: a denial of death rather than a reminder.
A digital memento mori might be more like using actuarial tables to work out the most likely age at which you'll die and setting a countdown timer on your desktop.

I suppose I am focussing on the creepiness of having someone who isn't there seem to be after they've died
