It's one of those things that needs careful handling and is unlikely to get it. I can see it having some value in therapy, but only if there is, y'know, an actual therapist involved who can make an informed call as to whether their patient will be helped or harmed by talking to a digital fake of a loved one. Instead, we're likely to see a ham-fisted "allow all" or "forbid all" call by regulators.
