How differently would your life change if you could see webcams of your deceased relatives in the corners of your vision watching your every move?

How would that go? They don't exist anymore.

Their consciousness was dissolved, their bodies were destroyed.
Their AIs are being put into your brain secretly by the government. Their spirits live on and have decided to watch over you. You're just experiencing hallucinations from a psychotic episode. It doesn't matter. The question is how this would change your life.
 
I'd be glad, I could communicate things I wanted to but can't. I guess I'd need to discreetly jack it beneath blankets from then onwards though, which is a fair trade.
 
I already pretend this is the case some times. If I could see their reactions I would mess with them constantly and refer to them as chat. I'd also make them do polls constantly, like what vidya should I play or what should I beat it to. It'd be a party in my head.

I wasn't too interested in this hypothetical, that's why I asked about that instead.

But to answer you, it would be an inconvenience, just like it would be to have a webcam of paint drying on the wall, it serves no purpose other than to be annoying.
