By Angela Yang, Laura Jarrett and Fallon Gallagher[this is a truly scary incident, which shows the incredible dangers of AI without guardrails.]
Take away chatgpt and insert a videogame, movie o bookthat talk about those same topics.
There are books that talk much darker about suicide. If the kid were to read those the parents would sue the author of the book?
There is a whole subgenre of music that is about encouraging people to comit suicide and fall into depression, do we use the “who is going to think about the children” card with thar music and its authors? Because music can really get under you skin and a couple of hours listening to that would nake anyone have weird thoughts.
The shitty parents blame chatgpt because it told the kid how to make a noose. You can kind that info in “howto” with instructable images. Do we put the UK nanny dictatorship controls on “howto” ? Or it only counts of it’s something that benefits of the butlerian yihad?
I think is completely irrational to blame a piece of software (or media), as much defective as it is, for a suicide.
