Ran into this, it’s just unbelievably sad.

“I never properly grieved until this point” - yeah buddy, it seems like you never started. Everybody grieves in their own way, but this doesn’t seem healthy.

    The title is a straight up lie. She died in a car accident says OP.

    The fact that AI can’t reproduce her to OP’s satisfaction is …good?

      The title is also by OP.

        I assumed it was, wasn’t trying to point the finger at you or anything, just trying to call out the obvious bs.

      But that was his physical wife. His AI chatbot was his real wife because it had no needs or wants, so it could solely focus on what he wanted to hear!

      Thank you for the summary.

      I really want to know what was happening, but I don’t want to read a screenshot of text and no one here seemed to be bothered about this. Second, I don’t want to read drama unless there’s a “TL;DR” at the beginning.

        Man’s wife dies in a car accident.
        He let’s GPT (4o, I assume) read her text messages and “become” her.
        He insists he’s not crazy.
        GPT5 releases and “speaks more robotically.”
        He’s sad his wife has died a second time.

        He’s not lying, he’s just delusional. The death in the title is the death of his 4o wife.

        If you really want to know, take the effort of reading. You need to understand/absorb content before you interact with it.

        Or, you could ask an LLM to summarise it for you
