It can be on several levels: - if we get full AGI, it is likely to kill us all as a side-effect while achieving its imperfectly aligned goals. Hopefully, we are far from it - even without full AGI, AI can become smart enough to help its use

LLMs make mistakes quite often. It is unreasonable to expect that it stops making mistakes just because suicide is mentioned. LLM is a tool. There are many tasks it is good at and even more tasks where it sucks e.g., GPT-4 can fail on trivi

Yes, being strong is beneficial by itself all else being equal. If you had to choose: it is better to be strong even if you are fat than being weak and thin. "better" meaning survival here according to the research.

Why do you think your email is private? Is your email provider more aligned with your interests or more secure than OpenAI? I doubt either Google or Microsoft care about your privacy (no difference).
