Comment on People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"

But if Costco modified their in-store sample booth policy and had their associates start offering free samples of bleach to children - when kids start drinking bleach we wouldn’t blame the children; we wouldn’t blame the bleach; we’d be mad at Costco.

Yes, but also no. Unmonitored(!) Children are a special case. Them being clueless and easy victims is inherent by design. You can’t lay any blame on them, so they kinda make an unfair argument. Can’t blame a blind person for not seeing you.

You’re saying people with underdeveloped mental and social skills are somehow never analagous in any way at all to children? There are full grown neurotypical and clinically healthy adults that are irresponsible enough to be analagous to children, but a literal case of someone trusting an untrustworthy authority due to a lapse of critical thinking skills … bears no resembalance at all to child-like behavior, at all?
Wow. That’s kind of some ivory tower stuff right there.

“Bears no resemblance” != the same
If you’re too lazy to think critically this is child-like, yes. But you are basically able to. If you aren’t, for whatever reason, then you can’t be blamed for not knowing better. Otherwise I don’t get your point.
