  The fact the parents might be to blame doesn’t take away from how openai’s product told a kid how to off himself and helped him hide it in the process.

  copying a comment from further down:

  ChatGPT told him how to tie the noose and even gave a load bearing analysis of the noose setup. It offered to write the suicide note. Here’s a link to the lawsuit. [Raine Lawsuit Filing](https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Raine-v-OpenAI-Complaint-8-26-25.pdf)

  Had a human said these things, it would have been illegal in most countries afaik.

    He could have Google the info. Humans failed this guy. Human behavior needs to change

    GPT could have been Google or a stranger in. Chatroom.

      Humans failed this guy.

      I am not arguing this point, I agree.

      A search engine presents the info that is available, it doesnt also help talk you into doing it.
      A stranger doing it in a chatroom doing it should go to prison, as has happened in the past. Should this not also be illegal for LLM’s?
