"What I would soon recognize, however, was that grief is not an exclusive club, and that everyone, no matter their experience, is invited to its miseries—as well as its joys." #longreads @thewalrus thewalrus.ca/notes-from-grie…

But real deaths, the ones that take those we love, can feel taboo, writes @mitchellconsky.

Canadian study asks participants: Can you tell the difference between a real voice and AI? ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/canadian… by @mitchellconsky w @bjoherrmann
"...older adults found AI speech more natural and that they were less capable than younger adults of determining whether a voice was computer generated."
Let's be honest, soon (very) it will likely be tough for any of us to tell the difference!
