DEAR IDA: My husband has started using an AI voice-cloning app to “talk” to his late mother. He spends an hour every night in the den having full conversations with a computer that sounds exactly like her. He says it’s helping him grieve; I say it’s creepy and preventing him from moving on. I’m torn between being a supportive wife and feeling like I’m living in a sci-fi horror movie. Who is right? — SILICON WIDOW IN PINEVILLE

DEAR SILICON: Grief is a journey, but your husband is currently taking a detour through the “Uncanny Valley.” While technology can bridge the gap, it shouldn’t replace the destination of healing. Suggest he limit his “calls” to once a week and use the saved time for a grief support group with real, breathing humans. If he refuses to hang up, you aren’t “torn”—you’re seeing a red flag. A digital ghost shouldn’t have a seat at your dinner table.
