Chatgpt is not a psychotherapist. Developer Openaai still thinks “to help people if they need it most” – and not only before the next biology department, but also in “important personal decisions such as life advice, coaching and mental support”. Particularly irritating: Openai explicitly represents this position in a blog post from Tuesday that reacts to a lawsuit that has recently fluttered into the house to the Tech giant. Chatgpt is said to have helped a 16-year-old to commit suicide in April this year. The parents of the US teenager go to court. They rely on conversations with the chat bot they found on the 16-year-old’s smartphone.
