Social media reactions highlight the power of AI to evoke nostalgia and connection. The video’s emotional resonance underscores AI’s potential to bridge the gap between memory and reality, offering solace to those grieving.

Nonetheless, genetic reconstruction of loved ones over the AI has brought forth an argument over its emotional and ethical consequences. There are those who applaud it as a way of giving comfort but there are those who wonder whether it misrepresents memories or extends the period of grief. In spite of the above concerns, the work of Apoorva proves that AI is able to find human-friendly uses as well.
