    Not trying to speak like a prepper or anythingz but this is real.

    One of neighbor’s children just committed suicide because their chatbot boyfriend said something negative. Another in my community a few years ago did something similar.

    Something needs to be done.

      This happened less than a year ago. Doubt regulators have done much since then https://apnews.com/article/chatbot-ai-lawsuit-suicide-teen-artificial-intelligence-9d48adc572100822fdbc3c90d1456bd0

        This is the Daenerys case, for some reason it seems to be suddenly making the rounds again. Most of the news articles I’ve seen about it leave out a bunch of significant details so that it ends up sounding more of an “ooh, scary AI!” Story (baits clicks better) rather than a “parents not paying attention to their disturbed kid’s cries for help and instead leaving loaded weapons lying around” story (as old as time, at least in America).
