    How is this dystopian?

    It’s the same shit as “psychics” except instead of a weird drifter, it’s a chatbot…

      Something like this doesn’t seem like a healthy step towards accepting a loved one’s death.
      This company is (presumably) monetising it and advertising to people at a vulnerable time in their life.
      Seems dystopian to me.

      The scale is a big part, as all dystopias are just real world things turned up to 11. Easily accessible automated people replacements have been a staple of sci fi for quite a while, often with horrifying implications and outcomes in the stories.
