Black mirror was never a scifi series, rather a warning
It's seems a lot of Sci-Fi is a warning.
and yet, the "genius inventors" keep creating Torment Nexuses
And not a "don't do this" kind of warning. More of a "this will happen, get ready" kind of warning
So was The Twilight Zone, no one listened to those parables either.

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.
