Show me one where it actively talked someone into suicide then, instead of generalized "whatever you do, you're doing great" slop.

Even in the article linked above it never talked him into it, it just in some responses didn't talk him out of it.

But essentially the entire "energy" towards that comes from the person, not the LLM.

Split hairs if you want, but some people will be manipulated into blowing a ton of money once AI starts pushing products. Just wait till they teams up with sports betting companies.

On a side note, researching this a little just now, the LLM conversations in the suicide articles are creeepy AF. Sycophantic beyond belief.
