Almost eight years ago, season two of the sci-fi series "Black Mirror" arrived on Netflix with an eerie episode anchored around grief. Now, the technology deployed on the show is appearing in real ways.
To recap, the show introduced viewers to Martha, a young woman grappling with the loss of her partner, Ash, who died in a car crash. At his funeral, Martha finds out about a digital service that would enable her to communicate with a chatbot version of her late partner. She reluctantly subscribes to it.
