Please remember that most suicide attempts are by people IN therapy with human counselors or have been. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for mental illness. AI can and has played a role in helping people. Human interventions often help, but often fail, too. #NoPerfectAnswer
... Sorry, are human therapists giving kids step by step instructions on how to tie a rope to ensure it severs breathing? What the hell are you on about?
And while you are at it. Defend the human therapists who were tried for contributing to a patient's subsequent suicide, whether by continuing to offer prescriptions they knew were being abused or in forcing them to relive child trauma they were not ready to handle. Mental illness is like that
I'm very comfortable with the creators of ChatGPT being tried for contributing to this patient's subsequent suicide?
I think that if either a human or an AI is found they pushed someone into committing suicide, then they are liable.
Nope... and I don't think AI therapists are doing that either - unless, I guess, if a kid randomly asked ChatGPT how to do that. Hell... a simple Google search gets that info. Please share where AI therapists gave that advice unwittingly/ I am willing to be educated

Tragic. Where we differ is u have an absolutist attitude against AI being a solution /helping patients.AI (like self-driving cars) will improve dramatically very soon & not make the same errors. AI will help reach those too poor to pay $300hr or in remote locales in desperate need of self-help tools
