  Interesting analysis indeed that make me review my position a bit.

  Where the article is right, is that we know very little about suicide, depression, and cognitive dysfunction in general. As it says, the only prevention method we currently have is basically asking “do you plan to kill yourself ?”. There are some protocol that can estimate the risk level like asking “have you ever consider it before”, “how many time in the last 2 weeks”, “have you ever thought about scenario”, “have you ever tried it”, etc… But some people may “simulate” suicide attempt dozen of time to ask for help, whereas other will kill themselves at first try without any prior sign.

  Lonely person may find refuge in LLM which may end up in a deadly trap. Like he could have ended up in MMO game, social networking or anything else that could lead to the same consequences. I just find too easy to blame AI because it’s a new way to lost itself. But where you are right, is that we could expect a human community to be naturally kind (most of the time…), whereas LLM doesn’t even understand the idea of kindness.

  Then, suicide and depression is not always due to social or environmental causes. Sometime, it’s cause by chemical unbalanced in brain. In that case, there is no psychological treatment and the only solution is medication (in current state of science).

  “AI cause suicide” is the new “Video game cause violence”. In the long chain of event that ended up to the act, AI may have been a small link. Like the butterfly that created the hurricane. But chaos theory also showed us that this hurricane would have happened anyway.

  We are already governed by Human Stupidity. It cannot be worst.

  Is it some kind of genAIed bullshit extrapolating causality over unexpected correlation ?

  Just reading the abstract looks like random polemic words glues together. Either the abstract is really badly written, either the article is complete nonsense.

  I use to be on Windows 7 until last month, where Steam definitly refuse to start. Now I’ve switch to Ubuntu. No regret.
