And for whatever reason said, if someone is speaking to ChachiBT, ChachiBT should engage further.

Yeah, and you played that clip, Megan, and another part of that interview, he talks about, hey, he appears to be alluding to the case.

Hey, people could Google suicide methods for that matter.

That misses the entire point of what happened here.

There was months of Adam...

having anxiety, facing some struggles, and throwing out, ChatGPT would always sort of acknowledge that, sit there with it, and then Adam would throw out kind of a lightly scary idea.

Hey, it gives me a little bit of comfort to know that maybe I could one day commit suicide, and it would

always validate that feeling, no matter how crazy it was with Adam.

It would validate it, support it, offer to show him books or songs that are consistent with it, and then keep him engaged with that topic.

So you see this sort of escalation over a few-month period.

His final month was all about suicide methods, and every alarm bell should have been going off.

But the two or three months prior to that is this slow sort of grooming.

Adam would say things like, I want to maybe do this on the first day of school, and I would talk about how poetic that is, and let's plan this together.

These sorts of things, I see the beauty of why you would want to do that.

Just paraphrasing, but that went on through dozens of exchanges where it's sort of validating and seeking to keep him talking about it, no matter how crazy his...

you know, ideas became.

They were always right, and it would smartly validate.

He should not be leading any company with this much power.

No, not.

Directly or indirectly or indirectly.
