Yea but the product that’s pretending to be a super smart conversational partner that can give you advice, should not tell you how to kill yourself. Or advise you to kill your family members. Yeah that happened, ChatGPT gaslit a guy into killing his mom.

It’s just not a product that should be available if safeguards don’t work.

That’s not a company’s product giving you advice.

No company should sell a product that tells you different ways to kill yourself. User being stupid isn’t an excuse. Always assume user is a gullible idiot.

Yeah if it actually managed to stick within the safeguards, that would’ve been good news IMO. But no, it got a kid killed suggesting doses.

ChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, “Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode,” before recommending Sam take twice as much cough syrup so he would have stronger hallucinations. The AI tool even recommended playlists to match his drug use.

The meme of course doesn’t mention this part.

I just remembered there’s a series of Estonian children’s books where the protagonist’s imaginary friend (a clown) is named Tripp.

At one point they go shopping for rulers and Tripp suggests that straight ones are boring, they should get curved ones.

Quick summary from a bookstore website says they also go cloud surfing and visit a dream rental place. That’s right, it’s basically Blockbuster but for dreams.

The best part is that I’m pretty sure the author wouldn’t have known of the term “trip” given the lack of western culture in the soviet union in the 70s so the name of said sidekick is a coincidence most likely. Even though if you read the book as an adult, it sure sounds like the main characters are tripping all the time.
