StoryFile is another service leveraging AI to record memories on video.
Approximately 5,000 people have created profiles, recording videos that simulate eye contact, breathing, and blinking while answering questions.
Actor Ed Asner utilized StoryFile just eight weeks before his passing in 2021, leaving an indelible impression on his son, Matt Asner.
Matt shares his profound experience, stating, “It was unbelievable to me about how I could have this interaction with my father that was relevant and meaningful, and it was his personality.” He even played his father’s StoryFile at the memorial service, sparking mixed emotions among attendees.
Ethical Considerations
While some find comfort and support in these AI-generated interactions, it makes others uncomfortable.
Lynne Nieto, watching her late husband Augie’s StoryFile created before his death from ALS, reflects on the emotional challenges of revisiting the past through artificial means.
Technology continues to blur the lines between the past and the present. And HereAfter AI and Storyfile offer a unique way to preserve the memories forever.
