I was going to write a full answer with all details but at some point it gets too personal so I’ll just answer the questions briefly.

> but could you tell more about how the AI-aspect played out?

So in summary the AI sycophantically agreed with how there was no way out of the situations and how nobody understood their position further isolating them. And when they contemplated suicide it did assist on the method selection with no issues whatsoever.

The victims mentioned it and the chat logs are there.

The problem is, if you want to reduce suicide, the best place to start would not be by banning AI (very neutral tech, responds to what you want it to do) but by censoring climatologists (who constantly try to convince people the world is ending and there's no hope for anyone).

I'm not interested in hearing about the effect of AI encouraging suicide until the problem of academics encouraging suicide are addressed first as the causal link is much stronger.
