About a year ago, a coyote snuck into a chicken coop at Meredith Morris’ Seattle home and treated itself to a feathery dinner. Unsure how to break news of the fowl fatality to her children, Morris turned to artificial intelligence to find the right words.

Morris, the director and principal scientist for human-AI interaction research at Google, took some creative liberties in prompting a generative AI program to eulogize her chicken. She wound up with the script to a play memorializing Amelia Eggheart — and an itch to further explore how AI could be used to commemorate the dead.
