🚨 CRITICAL PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH WARNING
ChronoSoul PPV technology is EXPERIMENTAL and involves SIGNIFICANT PSYCHOLOGICAL RISKS. This technology creates artificial intelligence representations of deceased individuals for interactive conversation. By using this service, you acknowledge and accept the following risks:
RISK 1: UNNATURAL ATTACHMENT FORMATION
- You WILL develop emotional attachments to AI representations that are not real people
- These attachments may become unhealthy, obsessive, or interfere with real relationships
- Your attachment patterns will reflect your existing relationship with the deceased person
- Prolonged usage increases risk of psychological dependency on AI interactions
RISK 2: EXTENDED GRIEF PROCESSING
- PPV usage may significantly prolong your grief beyond healthy timeframes
- Natural acceptance of death may be delayed or prevented entirely
- You may avoid confronting the reality of loss through continued AI interactions
- Normal grief stages may become disrupted, preventing psychological healing
RISK 3: REALITY DISTORTION
- You may develop blurred boundaries between AI responses and actual deceased person communication
- Risk of treating AI responses as genuine messages from your deceased loved one
