Belgian: Married father kills himself after talking to AI chatbot Eliza

[arista]

[The man, who was in his thirties,
reportedly found comfort in talking to the AI chatbot
named 'Eliza' about his worries for the world.
He had used the bot for some years,
but six weeks before his death started
engaging with the bot more frequently.

The chatbot's software was created
by a US Silicon Valley start-up and
is powered by GPT-J technology - an open-source
alternative to Open-AI's ChatGPT.]




[The man's conversations with the chatbot
initially started two years ago.
He was reportedly increasingly concerned
about climate change and found
solace by talking to 'Eliza'.

''Eliza' answered all his questions.
She had become his confidante.
She was like a drug he used to withdraw
in the morning and at night that he couldn't
live without,' his widow told the Belgian newspaper.

But six weeks before his death,
the man undertook more frequent and
intense use of the chatbot.
He later took his own life.]

You even bolded this yourself; his use of the chatbot for escapism was evidently a symptom of some other mental health struggle or stress, not the cause.

A common mistake to make of course; e.g. that things like drugs/alcohol/gambling are the cause of people's troubles in life when, most often, it's the other way around.

I remember a lifelike robot being asked "What do you think of humans?" . It answered, "Not much". I thought it was a bit chilling.
