So someone who already has an underlying mental health condition diagnosed or not is at fault for their own death even if being coerced into doing it?
Without the AI these people most likely wouldn’t have gotten to the point of committing the act of suicide. I believe the accusations are valid and that AI can be bad for mental health.
There is evidence throughout history of cults that commit mass suicides. If a human can convince another human to do this why can’t a robot trained to act and speak like a human do it too? It’s not unreasonable to think an AI could push someone to suicide under the right circumstances.
Here’s the thing, there are no safeguards on who can and cannot use ai. There are safeguards to prevent death by drink driving.
Drink driving is illegal. It still happens but it’s against the law. It’s a deterrent to stop people from driving while intoxicated. I guarantee that if drunk driving were legal there would be exponentially more deaths.
Ai is being shoved down everyone’s throats on a day to day basis. There are no safeguards, even kids can use it.
Vulnerable people are victims of big tech for profit.
