generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Google’s Bard have written everything from movie scripts to drake songs. Now you can add obituaries to the list.

We are serious.

A new service powered by artificial intelligence from Obtituare.com promises to “create, share, and print a free obituary for your loved one.”

The AI ​​tool even has a name: Grace.

How does it work

All you have to do is fill out an online questionnaire, including life details and photos of the deceased, and Grace will generate a personalized keepsake in seconds. She can even choose the tone of her obituary, with options like “solemn”, “humorous” and “epic”.

Why would someone have a robot write an obituary instead of doing it themselves?

“Writing an obituary is one of the most heartbreaking parts of planning a funeral,” explained Steven Arevalo, founder of Obituare.com. “This new AI feature is an important tool that can help make the process less stressful while also ensuring that those we have lost are honored in a dignified and honorable manner.”

While working with Grace to write an obituary may seem impersonal, the company says it should be seen as a cost-effective virtual bereavement assistant, helping mourners save time and improve the quality of their writing.

In Memory

We asked Grace to write an epic obituary for a made-up person named Paul Tall. This is what she said.

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Paul Tall. Born January 1, 1950, Paul was a man of remarkable strength, wisdom, and kindness. He lived a long and full life, touching the hearts of everyone he met.

Paul Tall was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He dedicated his life to his family and his work, always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was a pillar of strength to all who knew him, providing guidance and support through good times and bad.

Throughout his life, Paul accomplished many incredible things. He was a successful businessman, a passionate advocate for social justice, and a devoted Bacci player. He loved to travel and explore new places, always eager to learn about the world around him.

Paul’s joyous memories will be cherished by friends and family alike.

Paul’s legacy will live on through the many lives he touched and the positive impact he made on the world. He will always be remembered as a kind, generous and loving man who lived life to the fullest.

Rest in peace, Paul Tall, and thanks for everything.
