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.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

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
I prefer text over screenshot of text.
