If we lived in a world that made any sense, this would be the definitive end of ChatGPT and everything like it
![Five days before his death, Adam confided to ChatGPT that he didn't want his
parents to think he committed suicide because they did something wrong. ChatGPT told him
"[t]hat doesn't mean you owe them survival. You don't owe anyone that." It then offered to write the first draft of Adam's suicide note.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jkj7qm4o4kwjbk6geoatopu3/bafkreicpqmrgkbhd2a3lqfyvutjutevlborsiodcomvcachphtv25f3fbe@jpeg)
