A man has killed himself following a six-week-long conversation with artificial intelligence about the so-called climate crisis.

He apparently committed suicide in his effort to try to save the planet.

The report comes from Off the Press, where the case of the Belgian man was detailed.

His widow, who wanted to remain anonymous, said her husband "became extremely eco-anxious when he found refuge in Eliza, an AI chatbot on an app called Chai."

Thomas Rianlan, in an interview with Vice, explained, "It wouldn’t be accurate to blame EleutherAI’s model for this tragic story, as all the optimisation towards being more emotional, fun and engaging are the result of our efforts." He's co-founder of Chai Research.

Could we perhaps get AOC to start a dialog with this AI?

“Agent Starling, Meigs is dead.”

Funny how there was a time when that was a “crazy look” and now tons of people do it.

And it’s still a crazy look. I avoid anyone who does this. To me it’s like a visual form of screaming insanely.
