That is true too! Things are so much different now. Thanks for the comment.
How many of us saw this coming??
I was one.
I dunno…if an internet chat bot can convince someone to off themselves, he is pretty far gone already. Parents shouldn’t use the internet to pacify their children. No child should have unmonitored access to the internet, period.
So - he couldn’t talk with his family - and his family blames the bot....what’s wrong with this picture.?
Dear dumb kids listen to everybody and anybody but their parents who loved them. Stupidity of youth has serious awful consequences for parents and all the truthful answers to their hair pulling will be: he was an idiot, the dear kid was an idiot God help him.
In 5-4-3-2-1.

Count me on the side of the parents. The most loving parents don’t know what their kids are thinking all the time. What teen isn’t depressed sometimes?
A company created an AI chatbot that instructed and encouraged this teen to commit suicide. This is not the only time it’s been found to instruct and encourage people to kill themselves. Is this what we want our future to be?
