Look man…I hate AI too…but you can’t just use it as a scapegoat to cover for humans being humans.

Basically the entire US economy, every employer, many schools, and half of the commercials on TV are telling us to use and trust AI.
Kid was already using the bot for advice on homework and relationships (two things that people are fucking encouraged to do depending on who you ask). The bot shouldn’t give lethal advice. And if it’s even capable of doing that, we all need to take a huuuuuuge step back.
“I want to make sure so I don’t overdose,” Nelson explained in the chat logs viewed by the publication. “There isn’t much information online and I don’t want to accidentally take too much.”
Kid was curious and cautious, and AI gave him incorrect information and the confidence to act on that information.

19 is not a ‘kid’. Sorry of having to be that guy, but he was already an adult, a young adult at that.
No, fuck not holding dumbfucks responsible for being dumb as fuck.
