They mention that in the article. If you want to believe that this event happened because the NY Times encouraged it to happen and not because chatbots can provide dangerous info, that's your parenting belief. I disagree.

Why are there so many pro-AI posters who refuse to hold tech companies accountable?

This is a DC message board. Maybe they're lobbyists.

Probably. Or just complete nut jobs.

I figure bots.

Read the article, it disclosed that information.

This is horrifying. Also the stark difference in the reactions of the mother and the father is fascinating.

1. Paywalled. 2. Just because they disclosed that they have a conflict of interest doesn’t change the fact that they have, you know, a conflict of interest.

Just because a news entity reported that a kid killed himself after being encouraged to by Chat GPT does change the fact that, you know, that the 16 year old kid is dead.

Again, you can consult another source that doesn't have a conflict of interest. Like this one: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/chatgpt-suicide-teen-openai-lawsuit-1235415931/

+1 But but...lack of objectivity of the New York Times killed the 16 year old according to the PP. No one can change their mind.

lol not what I said at all. All the stories I have read on this issue are basically uncritical summaries of allegations made in a plaintiff’s lawsuit complaint, hardly an unbiased primary source; the fact that the LLM companies have become the moral enemy of large media outlets, of course, has nothing to do with the tenor of their coverage I am sure.

Why are you commenting on the article and so sure it’s full of their conflict of interest if you haven’t read it?

Here’s a gift link for everyone who’s chiming in without any awareness of what we’re discussing.

Oh look, another Democrat creating a fake narrative that tech lobbyists are all over this when in reality it’s Joe Schmo in his parent’s basement. Joe knows bad parents give their children the internet that’s why he still lives in his basement.

You didn't read anything before commenting did you? 16 year old kids live with their parents. This 16 year old kid killed himself with the suggestions of ChatGPT

Why did the child have unsupervised access to chat gpt?

Do tell us: how do you supervise access to chat GPT? do have advice about how chat GPT records information and how a parent would access information on what their kid is writing? Or do you restrict access to the Internet altogether?

The PP doesn’t even know how one accessed Chat Gpt.
