I agree with everything you said, however chatGPT isn’t a person, it doesn’t have intent or comprehensive understanding of the implications of what it is saying. That’s a huge difference between a friend of Adam’s vs this LLM.

I also do think it’s harsh but not entirely false to say we as humans do not owe anyone our own survival, do you feel the same way about people with terminal illness who wish to end their own suffering?

I absolutely understand that IS NOT this situation, and don’t intend to conflate those situations, however this is an underlying implication to vilifying a statement such as that on its own.

I am lucky enough to not suffer from sucidial ideation, and I have a hard time understanding the motivations for otherwise healthy individuals to do so, which absolutely colors my perceptions on situations like this, I do however understand why someone in intense pain with a terminal condition should not be made to feel worse by having their self determination vilified because of the effects it’d have on other people.

It’s just such a messy horrible situation all around and I worry about people being overly reactionary and not getting to the root of the issues.
