    Look man…I hate AI too…but you can’t just use it as a scapegoat to cover for humans being humans.

    Should the AI be telling him to do more and more drugs until he died? Well, no, but also…maybe don’t do dangerous drugs at all.

    Like if chatgpt says to shoot yourself in the face, and you do, is it chatgpt’s fault you killed yourself? Or was it you killing yourself at fault for killing you?

    This world is getting dumber and dumber.

      Basically the entire US economy, every employer, many schools, and half of the commercials on TV are telling us to use and trust AI.

      Kid was already using the bot for advice on homework and relationships (two things that people are fucking encouraged to do depending on who you ask). The bot shouldn’t give lethal advice. And if it’s even capable of doing that, we all need to take a huuuuuuge step back.

      “I want to make sure so I don’t overdose,” Nelson explained in the chat logs viewed by the publication. “There isn’t much information online and I don’t want to accidentally take too much.”

      Kid was curious and cautious, and AI gave him incorrect information and the confidence to act on that information.

      He was 19. Cut this victim blaming bullshit. Being a kid is hard enough before technology went full cyberpunk.
