Oh boy. It looks like OpenAI is taking the angle of blaming prior mental illness for all this. Of course chat jippity is only "reinforc[ing] or amplify[ing] existing, negative behavior". Because, you see, everyone who was driven insane was already mentally ill, obviously! ChatGPT couldn't possibly be driving insane people who otherwise could've been fine.
This is stupid. ChatGPT can very obviously affect people who are not already mentally ill. Mental illness isn't always something you are born with, it can be acquired. Everyone's vulnerability differs and it is very obviously and evidently possible for people to be driven to mental illness by ChatGPT. So why is OpenAI blaming the victims here?
