    > aren't relevant to running an eating disorder helpline they are when you replace a human's activity with what's effectively a computation engine. Those have fundamental limitations which are well known, and they did it anyway. Any reasonable professional in a position to advise should have known, there is really no excuse because this is such a fundamental limitation going all the way back to Claude Shannon and Turing. Its discussed regularly in computer science major related undergraduate coursework. If you are going to use AI, you should be being advised by experts who are knowledgeable in the area especially when there is potential harm as it is safety critical.
