\u201cI am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?\u201d<\/em> John 11:25-26.\n<\/p>\n

Jesus Christ declares that if we\u2019ve received Him as Lord and Savior, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit, and we will inherit eternal life. We can also look forward to a grand reunion in heaven with our loved ones who belong to Christ.<\/p>\n

There are many people in this world, however, who do not accept or understand this amazing truth. When a loved one dies, they are filled with a profound grief that consumes them. Some become desperate as they search for a way to cope with the loss of their spouse, friend, child, or that special person in their life.\n<\/p>\n

AI Simulating Dead Loved Ones<\/h2>\n

While there\u2019s nothing wrong with grieving for a loved one, the problem comes when people take this sadness and loss to AI, rather than to God. In a desperate effort to maintain the relationship with a beloved person, some are turning to technology to \u201cresurrect the dead.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

With the acceleration of AI, the idea of \u201cbringing a person back from the dead\u201d isn\u2019t as far-fetched as one might think. Currently, there is a wealth of tools available where users can turn old photos into animated videos\u00a0quickly and easily. The quality, color, and clarity of photos can be significantly enhanced by AI, but as the tools become more sophisticated, even still images of people can now move and talk as if part of a live video.\n<\/p>\n

Chatting with the Dead?<\/h2>\n

Turning a photo into a video is one thing, but what happens when AI is used to allow people to have live chats and interactions with life-like avatars and \u201cgrief bots\u201d representing their dead loved ones? This phenomenon is already happening because ChatGPT, AI image generators, and voice cloning are being used to synthesize and simulate the voice, mannerisms, and personalities of dead relatives or friends.\n<\/p>\n

Death Tech is the New AI Frontier<\/h2>\n

The world of \u201cdeath tech\u201d has taken off since the COVID-19 era, with people becoming more concerned about death than ever. There\u2019s a wide range of companies offering platforms that preserve memories of dead loved ones by creating digital representations that can talk and respond to questions.\n<\/p>\n

HereAfter AI records the voice and stories of a person before their death. Next, it creates a digital chatbot that can answer questions in the style and voice of that person. Similarly, StoryFile uses pre-recorded interviews and develops videos that are life-like and interactive. Vidnoz AI allows users to upload photos and\/or videos of a person and then turn them into a realistic video or avatar. The person\u2019s voice can be cloned as well.\n<\/p>\n

There\u2019s one company, however, that goes a step beyond the others. 2Wai, also known as HoloAvatar, is an app that allows people to have \u201creal-time conversations\u201d with just about anyone, from the \u201cicons they love\u201d or friends and family who have passed away. All one needs is a few minutes of video, audio, and\/or text from the deceased person. Once this is uploaded and fed to the AI as training data, the platform builds a digital likeness of the loved one, with whom the user can chat.\n<\/p>\n

The app, co-founded by former Disney Channel actor Calum Worthy, was released in November 2025. The promotional video \u201cdepicts a pregnant woman video-calling an AI recreation of her late mother for advice, then fast-forwards to the avatar reading bedtime stories to her newborn\u2013and later counseling her adult grandson.\u201d The video asks, \u201cWhat if the loved ones we\u2019ve lost could be part of our future?\u201d <\/em>\n<\/p>\n

The video\u2019s release garnered negative reactions such as \u201cnightmare fuel, demonic, dystopian, and an exploitative commercialization of grief.\u201d One user stated that it\u2019s \u201cone of the most evil, psychotic things I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d because it causes human beings to avoid processing loss.\n<\/p>\n

Grief Avatars and AI Necromancy<\/h2>\n

While there are many who see just how disturbing these \u201cgrief avatars\u201d are, with some calling it AI necromancy, there are still plenty of people who insist that these tech innovations are nothing more than useful tools that help people cope with death and loss.\n<\/p>\n

The startling truth is that sophisticated \u201cgrief bots\u201d are being trained to mimic humans by recording their \u201cinflections, cadences, and verbal idiosyncrasies.\u201d Robert LoCascio, the founder of Eternos.life, says that the goal of his company is \u201cto create an interactive AI replica that sounds and responds indistinguishable from its human counterpart.\u201d He shares, \u201cI set out on a vision of: What\u2019s the highest bar AI you can make? And that\u2019s a human before they die.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Eternos.life is a company that\u2019s \u201cdesigned to impersonate the dead after they have passed on.\u201d On this platform, users can \u201ccreate a digital twin to share knowledge, experiences, and everything else with ultra-realistic interactions using your voice.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The website specifies how to \u201ccreate your Eternos AI,\u201d explaining that \u201cyou can share knowledge, opinions, stories, and anything else\u2026add images, photos, videos, documents, articles, presentations, hyperlinks\u2026an AI training assistant will guide you through the entire process.\u201d Users can later chat with an Eternos AI. The company boasts that the AI \u201cbehaves just like you.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Communicating with the Dead<\/h2>\n

LoCascio reveals that he received the inspiration for Eternos after his father died. He was putting his son to bed, and they were looking at an old photo of his father. His son asked, \u201cWhy can\u2019t I talk to Grandpa?\u201d At that moment, LoCascio wondered, \u201cWhat good was artificial intelligence if his kids couldn\u2019t speak with his dead grandfather?\u201d Next, he contemplated, \u201chow he could use AI to engineer eternal life\u2013to endow humanity with an artificial form of humanity. My goal was to give my children an AI of my family.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

As Christians and intercessors, we know that using AI to impersonate deceased humans is a terrible idea. Additionally, the Bible is replete with warnings about trying to contact the dead through mediums, necromancers, and all forms of divination.\n<\/p>\n

Do not turn to mediums and necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God,<\/em> Leviticus 19:31.\n<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 states, There shall not be found among you<\/em>\u2026anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

While AI is not actually speaking to the dead, but rather creating simulated experiences with deceased loved ones, in some cases, it\u2019s still being used as a way to maintain a relationship with someone who has passed away. As an article in Answers in Genesis<\/em> explains, \u201ca similar heart is behind the desire to communicate with the dead, whether via the occult, or through modern technology: the human desire to overcome death\u2026ever since the garden, humans have tried to cheat death in all kinds of ways.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

AI and Transhumanism<\/h2>\n

The idea of bringing someone \u201cback to life\u201d through AI isn\u2019t as new as you think. In fact, this is just one of many steps towards a transhumanist future. Transhumanists hope to overcome disease, aging, and even death through the use of science and technology. The most enthusiastic adherents foresee a time when humans will download their consciousness into a computer and\/or robot, thus merging themselves with technology so they can live forever.\n<\/p>\n

Other transhumanists believe that merging humanity with AI will force humans to be \u201cof one mindset.\u201d In this hive mind, everyone is connected to a higher, \u201cmore evolved\u201d consciousness. They claim this evolution of humanity must happen in order to end suffering, war, plagues, and division.\n<\/p>\n

While the average person doesn\u2019t likely see this connection, the truth is that by participating in AI\u2019s counterfeit experiment promising life through technology, they are setting themselves up for deception and heartache.\n<\/p>\n

The Word of God tells humanity that they cannot cheat death. And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, <\/em>Hebrews 9:27.\n<\/p>\n

AI necromancy attempts to bypass God\u2019s unchanging truths and supplant them with mankind\u2019s flawed plans for redemption. The truth is that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only One<\/em> who offers the authentic path to life after death.\n<\/p>\n

Death Has No Sting<\/h2>\n

1 Corinthians 15:52 promises believers in Christ something that AI will never be able to replicate!\n<\/p>\n

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For\u00a0the trumpet will sound, and\u00a0the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed<\/em>.\n<\/p>\n

John 3:16 declares, For God so loved the world, that he gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Revelation 21:4 is an amazing verse that gives hope to humanity and negates the need to use AI to falsely resurrect humans.\n<\/p>\n

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away<\/em>.\n<\/p>\n

It\u2019s understandable that losing a loved one is difficult and overwhelming. But God\u2019s promises are the only solid path to hope and healing. Transhumanist ideas like living forever through AI are considered \u201ctransformative,\u201d but they actually bring death as mankind\u2019s connection to God is replaced by a cheap imitation\u2013 an artificial entity that can never save or restore the brokenness in our world.\n<\/p>\n

Lord Jesus, we pray for anyone who has experienced the loss of a family member or loved one. We pray that instead of reaching out to AI, they would place their hand in Yours and allow You to take them under the shadow of Your wings. This is where they will encounter the true remedy for earthly death and embrace the greatest hope humanity will ever know! Everlasting life with You! Hallelujah!\n<\/p>\n

What do you think about AI necromancy? How can we pray about this issue?<\/h4>\n
