Yikes – AI Came Up with That?
The hype in our profession surrounding AI is ongoing, as more firms use tools like our own Tribute Obituary Writer to generate heartfelt and unique obituaries in just seconds.
As your staff becomes more comfortable using AI, some might wonder what other tasks it can perform.

Skim through this list, and it’s obvious that AI comes up short. Sure, some of these headlines could inspire other options – but some are downright offensive.
When writing about sensitive topics, including cremation, burial, and grief, appropriate perspective and emotion are paramount.
