A funeral for a man who died by suicide took an unsettling turn when the best friend of the deceased realized the "handwritten" tribute song and obituary were AI-generated.
The obituary came out last night, as well as a 'hand written song about his life'... It was very obviously written by ChatGPT…
The deceased's family was unaware of this and wept over what they believed were heartfelt and personal words. The best friend, u/Atsird, recognized the familiar rhythm and phrasing of ChatGPT and posted about it on Reddit after the funeral, out of respect for their friend's family.
Author's summary: Funeral song was AI-generated.
