Break into someone’s house and cancel theirs.
Why not break into the CEO’s house and unsubscribe them from their life?
Because that’s murder, and contrary to a health insurance company denying claims, Sam Altman just sucks, but hasn’t killed anyone (yet) (that we know of).

Several teens have been groomed into killing themselves by ChatGPT.

He’s culpable.

Is the developer also culpable? How about the data scientist? How about the data engineer? How about the BI Analyst? And the janitor?

How about the manufacturer of the knife / pill / gas they used to kill themselves?

In most cases suicide isn’t anyone’s fault. People like to find someone to blame, and I get that, but people who are even remotely close to doing that, were always going to find a way and a justification.

No AI is going to convince me to kill myself if I didn’t already want to. Equally the inverse must also be true.

That’s not to say that the companies are completely off the hook, it’s utterly ridiculous that these conversations weren’t flagged and sent to a human, but I think it’s daft to suggest that these people would necessarily still be alive had the AI not existed.

I completely agree. Not off the hook. There should be better guardrails (like recipes for bombs and other dangerous things) but from there to accuse the CEO of murder there’s quite a stretch.
