ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Host Jason Michael Perry picks his conversation with psychotherapist Jessica Daniel, founder of Peace in Perspective, back up — this time with the heaviest version of the question.
You can now feed someone's texts and voicemails into an AI and get back something that talks like them. Jess makes the case that grief isn't a problem to be solved but something that has to be witnessed and held — close to the opposite of how an answer engine works. They end where the two of them started: what's left that a machine can't have.
