There is a lot to hate about AI. A lot of dangers and valid criticism. But AI chatbots convincing people to kill themselves isn’t a problem with chatbots, it’s a problem with the user.

I get it, grieving families will look for anything and anyone to blame for suicide except the victim, but ultimately, it is the victim who chose to kill themselves. If someone is convinced to kill themselves from something as stupid as an AI chatbot, they really weren’t that far from the edge to begin with.

So someone who already has an underlying mental health condition diagnosed or not is at fault for their own death even if being coerced into doing it?

It’s not the car manufacturer’s responsibility to guarantee a drunk driver doesn’t plow into others.

Vulnerable people don’t get to outsource responsibility.

Here’s the thing, there are no safeguards on who can and cannot use ai. There are safeguards to prevent death by drink driving.

Drink driving is illegal. It still happens but it’s against the law. It’s a deterrent to stop people from driving while intoxicated. I guarantee that if drunk driving were legal there would be exponentially more deaths.

Ai is being shoved down everyone’s throats on a day to day basis. There are no safeguards, even kids can use it.

Vulnerable people are victims of big tech for profit.
