This is so sad to read. I really hope courts shutdown OpenAI. Parents of teenager who took his own life sue OpenAI https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgerwp7rdlvo
Parents of teenager who took his own life sue OpenAI

The Raine family alleges ChatGPT "actively helped" their 16-year-old son take his own life.

@nixCraft i believe the blame for this incident can't fully go to OpenAI, but also to his parents. In my experience, people talk to AI when they have no one else to talk to.
@nixCraft So where were his parents in all this? They didn't notice how he was feeling, talk to him about it?
@nowayitsmae @nixCraft While its possible they were neglectful, its entirely feasible they weren't. As someone who hid depression from their parents even though they were good parents, I can't stress enough hoe little people understand about these situations and spread very dangerous ideas like yours, even if not done with ill intention. There's zero evidence to support your theory st this moment so spreading malicious feelings towards the parents is honestly pretty bad.
@pjhenry1216 @nixCraft you're absolutely right. everyones situations are different, thank you!

@nixCraft I doubt it, courts are an arm of the neo-liberal order, they don't give a fuck about child safety if it cuts into their overlords' bottom line

(sorry for salty toot lol)

@bazkie @nixCraft Unneeded.

@lbnvds @nixCraft I'll admit being wrong the moment the courts shut down chatGPT. (as they obviously fucking should)

which they won't, because money

@bazkie @nixCraft I don’t think you’re wrong, but when the mood is already down, what’s the use with bringing it down even lower? A TW would’ve been nice.

@lbnvds @nixCraft what's a TW?

but fair, I was venting a bit, maybe it wasn't the right place for that. sorry

@nixCraft
What can I say, even I chat with ai time to time. Sometimes it feels they can be better friend than human ones. Real people will judge you, will talk to your back, reject your friendship for no reason maybe because you are ugly or too simple to be her/his friend. All that aside you really have to understand reality and virtuality, then you will be safe.
