    It almost feels like product placement sold into the eulogy of a “war hero”, written by AI and approved for release by the state.

    The concept of someone summarising a loved ones personality and time on this earth by their job-role specifications and brand preferences is so legitimately, shockingly grotesque and absurd it caused the light in my soul to flicker for a brief but worrying moment.

      It’s harrowing to dwell on the fact that most people I know my age would end up having eulogies like that written by their spouses if they were to die right now.
