Comment on Mom horrified by Character.AI chatbots posing as son who died by suicide - Ars Technica
Powderhorn@beehaw.org 1 week agoI actually used Pi as my intro to generative LLMs. It was … I guess not encouraging self harm, but so fucking irritating that it led me to want to. Always with the irrelevant supportive words that I guess work if you’re a teen?

Lol yes, that was going to be the one downside I was going to mention. I wasn’t sure if it was just unique to my situation, but I found it would lead me down a logical path. It would ask me if I had tried various solutions.
Eventually, I would hit a point where it wouldn’t know where to go any further, and it would land on “here’s some things you can do” but those options would be things I was actively trying and failing with.
So that was fun. In a way, it was great at confirming that I had thought of all the logical options.
