Do let's not talk about why, let's just make it harder to get a knife, since that is how he died. > [The] issue is that an impressionable youth was talked into suicide by an LLM and nobody stopped it. Right, that is the issue. Except, I disagree there's enough evidence for a reasonable person to conclude that the chatbot talked him into shooting himself. Where as there is plenty of evidence that a child with symptoms of depression had uncontrolled access to a loaded firearm. But to the strawman representation of my argument, let's talk about both? Unless the chatbot suggested he should kill himself, I don't think the chatbot is the problem in this example. Did it? or did it just repeat a banal agreement to some non-violent fantasy? Then, if my assumption is correct, that the chatbot didn't try to talk him into it. What other steps are there that could have prevented this suicide?
