'The Bachelor' alum Jade Roper Tolbert generated an AI family Christmas portrait, and an extra little boy showed up. She said the boy was her late son, Beau, whom she lost in a miscarriage in 2023.
fucking pathetic; also apologies for posting the trash…
Some people are just so delusional when they miscarry. I mean I get it. Between the flood of natal hormones and the hopes and dreams people inevitably build up over their child in the womb, miscarrying hurts.
But …
Funerals for your miscarried child? Memorial shrines? And now this delusional woman’s AI slop?
Maybe you could walk away from a living being dying inside you and then you having to pass that dead corpse with zero trauma, but let grieving families grieve. A memorial service is a perfectly reasonable response to losing a child, even if they never lived outside you.
Memorials that stay up for a decade afterward? Yeah, that’s healthy.
Grieving is inevitable (which I acknowledged right at the start if you’d bothered to read), but there comes a point where it’s less “grieving” and more “spiralling into an inner hellscape of uncontrollable pain and sorrow that hurts you, your family, and anybody around you who cares for you”.
She chose the delusional response, not the easier one.
I’ve seen children fucked up by mothers who keep shrines to their miscarried children (note the plural) and talk to them like they were actual children growing up, making up enormous fantasy lives for these collections of cells her body rejected for whatever reason (good or bad).
These children grow up confused and/or resentful of the time and attention their mothers put into fantasy lives for non-existent beings. Their inability to cope with what is one of the most common medical outcomes of pregnancy (estimated at around 1 in 4 in aggregate) is actively harming their actual, living children who they successfully brought into this world.
And now degenerative AI is going to make this sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much worse.

Guess which this one is.
You said in your post funerals were going too far. That is what I take issue with.
The grieving is normal and healthy. The AI delusion is not
Extended grieving to the point of making fantasy lives for children that never were is not healthy either.
She could be outraged over the inclusion and take great offense… or she could spin it positively and move on. She chose the easier response.

No worse than having a flying, bearded imaginary friend imo
If you’re talking to your flying, bearded imaginary friend and hearing answers? Yeah, about the same.
