Virtual Ouija board uses AI to contact deceased relatives in the Great Beyond

The Ouija board has undergone a 21st century makeover, with the popular toy moving to the online realm and using AI (artificial intellience) to contact deceased relatives.

According to PC Mag, those curious to see what their dearly beloved Grandma and Grandpa have to say can head on over to the official Ouija website to pose their pressing questions.

The virual board is only available until November 1, meaning it’s perfect for Halloween fun and celebrations.

Known as a spirit board or a witch board, Ouija first had its start as a parlor game back in the 19th century.

It is believed to have been first used in 1886 at the University of Ohio by alleged spritualists, who claimed that they were able to contact the dead using the board.

The Hasbro company first made the Ouija board available to consumers in 1966.

The so-called “hippie” movement, with a focus on free love and alternative religions, helped the popularity of the board explode.

The 21st century version of the popular “talking board” deploys AI to spit out “correct” answers, though reviews were mixed on the matter.

For example, the Ouija correctly named Edgar Allen Poe as the author of “The Raven” but didn’t identify smaller details correctly (for example, the board didn’t know that the Raven left black roses on the gravesite, instead of red).

“Though fun for a few minutes, the charm of the AI-enhanced Ouija Board quickly wore off,” PC Mag noted.

“The lack of a tactile connection lessened the experience, and the addition of AI caused any spark of mystery or supernatural interference to be snuffed faster than a candle in a gothic novel.”
