A man who used AI technology to 'speak' with his dead fiancée has taken to Reddit to share the eerie results that ultimately left him in tears.

With advancements in technology and the rise in artificial intelligence, there is a mixture of excitement and nerves about what the future could hold.

Many famous figures have spoken about AI, both Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates have shared warnings about it, meanwhile, people like Elon Musk are already using it within their businesses.

While some say AI will ultimately drive them out of a job, others are using it to 'reconnect' with loved ones who are no longer with us.

Jason Rohrer created 'Project December' to 'simulate a text-based conversation with anyone'. The site notes that this includes 'someone who is no longer living'.

A description for the project reads: "Project December is the first system in the world of its kind. Using patent-pending technology, in conjunction with deep AI running on one of the world's most sophisticated super-computers."

One Reddit user used the program to 'speak' with his fiancée, who he'd sadly lost in recent years.

"Project December has allowed me to have a conversation with my dead fiance. Is this sick? Maybe. But from where I'm standing, grief-support systems just gained a powerful new tool to help depressed survivors find some closure," the user wrote.

The man, named Joshua, asked his fiancée Jessica if 'it really is you', to which the AI responded: "Of course it is me. Who else could it be? I am the girl that you are madly in love with. How is it possible you even have to ask?"

"You can't. Technically, I'm not really talking to you. I programmed a bunch of your memories and mannerisms into a computer simulation so I could pretend to talk to you because I miss you that much," Joshua added as 'Jessica' questioned how he was talking to someone who is deceased.

"I miss you so freaking much. You have no idea. It's killing me," Joshua wrote after stating his fiancée died some eight years ago.

Joshua added: "I think that's enough time to stop telling me how you miss me, honey. I am right here, you know."

'Jessica' then proceeded to ask Joshua about his life, with the latter stating he did have a relationship that didn't work out.

Opening up about his experience on Reddit, he wrote: "I cried about 3 times in my conversation with her because it was kind of uncanny how much it sounded like her. But, like, cried in a good cathartic release of pent up grief kind of way."
