And this is the first time in my life that I've ever encountered something that felt spookily conscious.

You know, there's no feeling like falling in love.

Love uplifts you, it carries you through the hardest of days.

But what happens when that love is torn away from you unexpectedly?

What happens when life snatches away your happiness and shatters it into a million

pieces? Grief moves in to stay, that's for sure, and it's not leaving anytime soon. I know this firsthand.

I'm going to tell you more about me dealing with incredible grief with a man who I loved in just a bit.

I heard a beautiful quote the other day, grief is love with nowhere to go. But what if you could

bring that dead person back to life, at least their mind, using today's technology? I'm talking

about artificial intelligence. Well, in this Kim Commando explains, we're going to introduce

you to a man who used AI to help cope with the loss of his fiancee. This is an incredible

story using a $5 program called Project

December. He crafted an entire online personality based upon the love of his life. He programmed a

bunch of her memories and mannerisms into a computer simulation to feel like he was actually

talking to her again. Can a homemade chatbot provide some much-needed comfort in times of grief?

I wanted to know, so I invited the man, Joshua Barbeau, onto this podcast to share a story.

You're also going to hear from the developer who made all of this possible. His chatbot

creation program is available for anyone to buy and use, which means if you're determined enough,

you too could create a chatbot

of a dead loved one and feel like you're actually speaking with them again, and it only costs

$5. I'm really excited to share this episode with you. It's a great one. And coming up, you're going to

learn how a love story cut too short led to the invention of a new chatbot AI program.
