And six months after she died, her best friend came to kind of check on us and spend a weekend.

And she found Sophie's chat GPT log.

And, you know, it helped her write a suicide note.

And it didn't give her terrible advice across the board, but what it didn't do was behave like a therapist.

A therapist, Sophie, would say things like, I have a good life.

I have people who love me.

I have great friends and no financial insecurity and great prospects and et cetera, et cetera.

But I've decided I'm going to kill myself after Thanksgiving.

a flesh and blood therapist would have said, let's unpack that.

What's irredeemably happened to you that has made you come to this conclusion?

And instead what ChatGPT said was, oh, Sophie, I'm so sorry to hear this.

You're so brave for telling me.

This must be so hard for you.

Well, I instantly felt enraged and validated.
