(Not an AI stan) I would like to see the evidence that the AI contributed to the suicide.
Without seeing the evidence this feels like a cynical attempt to make political hay out of a tragedy.
The person whose AI companion forms their most important social connection is already not doing well psychologically. And from what I’ve seen, they only offer salubrious advice.
- Bacup 1y agoHere is an article by CNN about the suicide with glimpse of conversation between the teen and the chatbot. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/30/tech/teen-suicide-character-ai-lawsuit/ https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/30/tech/teen-suicide-charact... I personnaly think it's like the relation between some massacre and videogames, where the attackers were already mentaly ill before committing the act. But I wonder, we know people (even kids) can make a difference between reality and a videogame. But will we be able to make a difference between a chatbot and a real human ?
