Wu loved his grandmother very much because she was the one who raised him as a child after his parents divorced, the South China Morning Post reported.
When the woman fell ill, Wu took time off work to stay with his grandmother for the last 15 days of her life.
The man couldn't say goodbye to her because the woman was in a coma the whole time. After she died, Wu decided to take pictures of her grandmother and phone records of conversations with her to create an image of her using a neural network.
With the ChatGPT chatbot, Wu trained a virtual image to talk the way Grandma used to talk. Now she answers questions and her talking image is displayed on the screen.
According to the man, she can only have simple conversations, such as what she bought for New Year's Eve or what she would say to his dad.
This story caused controversy on the network. Users noted that such a situation is very sad. Some commenters said that the image of the neural network was superfluous, because birth and death are the norm of life, and it should be accepted.
Also, users said that Wu just keep the memory of his grandmother and let her rest in peace.
