That's not what the OP originally posted. Also, suicide is never the answer.

The OP didn’t say they were going to kill themselves in actuality, the OP said they’d rather end their own life than talk to an AI to reduce loneliness. We can extrapolate that the OP won’t kill themselves because there is no known current status quo in which the OP could not escape talking to AI to reduce loneliness. Just because suicide was mentioned doesn’t mean suicide is intended. No reason to be so dramatic or befuddled by simple hyperbole.

  To quote: >> I would rather kill myself than talk to an AI to “reduce loneliness.” Is a dramatic hyperbole. So therefore, if this is the first thing a person thinks in reaction to seeing an article about chatting with an AI companion, then I would suspect there's a bit more going on. Again "killing oneself" is never the answer.

    Okay, you ring your bell.

  Wow. Comments section on a paper addressing loneliness and you truly think this is an appropriate response? Or more precisely, do you suggest I commit suicide for using an AI chatbot to help with my loneliness?

    Are we not supposed to talk about suicide or something? I’ve tried to commit suicide before and I don’t recommend doing it but I feel just fine talking about it.
