  • Take away chatgpt and insert a videogame, movie o bookthat talk about those same topics.

    There are books that talk much darker about suicide. If the kid were to read those the parents would sue the author of the book?

    There is a whole subgenre of music that is about encouraging people to comit suicide and fall into depression, do we use the “who is going to think about the children” card with thar music and its authors? Because music can really get under you skin and a couple of hours listening to that would nake anyone have weird thoughts.

    The shitty parents blame chatgpt because it told the kid how to make a noose. You can kind that info in “howto” with instructable images. Do we put the UK nanny dictatorship controls on “howto” ? Or it only counts of it’s something that benefits of the butlerian yihad?

    I think is completely irrational to blame a piece of software (or media), as much defective as it is, for a suicide.


  • I don’t have any evidence. But everything I read about this story I get the vibe that parents are dodging their responsibility. Some of the logs clearly show that the kid have issues with the family.

    And the fact that they are willing to blame some software instead of themselves speaks quite loudly.

    Suicide in kids usually have two real roots, school or family. Because that’s the two places the kid will spend more time with. And probably only run to “other places” if one or both those fundamental places are awful.

    It’s “videogames are to blame for violence” all over again.

    I know too well how parents behave when they don’t want to assume their own fucking responsibility for how they raise their kids, and this smells too much like that very same shit.
