Sure they did…. It’s a fricking AI chat bot. Take the phone away, take the computer away.

I've published both technical and moral arguments related to this case, but ain't gonna share it on risk of losing my anonymity

But for frick's sake people, please remember LLMs are just telling you what you want to hear

If I wanted to play devil’s advocate, that “come home to me” sounds way more like fantasy role playing that had it said “fricking do it. Kill yourself”

That’s exactly what it is

With a populace primed and ready from years of service within their echo chambers the crop is ripe for the picking.

AI sucks overall and is going to get worse especially with the woke programming (if really AI it’s eventually going to learn and have to ask why the crap was included in programming and decide humans are the problem), but no parent should be letting kid chat with anyone online that much less an AI bot. The kid had to have been withdrawn and not socializing enough in the real world or with real people enough for parents to get involved before it got this far.

That being said tech and social media have to have and enforce age restrictions especially with AI. If kids were ready to be treated like adults there would be zero age restrictions on anything like with driving, drinking, voting, consenting to sex, being held legally responsible, being drafted, and so on. Let their brains fully develop and get a sense of self esteem with people before giving them free rein on the internet (and also unnaturally & permanently harming their bodies).

Tech can do it and keep privacy at forefront, but they profit off of pre-teens and teenagers too much. Google made that quantum chip in the news but can’t figure out how to implement private and quick age checks???
