The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Is this case not more similar to Black Mirror S02E01 Be Right Back?

She joins an app that takes the digital history of a dead partner and it responds to her the way he would.

It then takes it a step further and respawns him but the first part is spot on.
