Perhaps as you just did, as I can find no one actually "injecting themselves with bleach."
The overall point stands: the difference between reading something dumb and doing that dumb thing is what it means to have agency. I personally don't think we should optimize the world 100% to prevent people who read something stupid from doing that stupid thing.
Or, if that's the path we're going to take, maybe we should first target things like the show Ridiculousness before we start talking about AI. After all, someone might do something dumb they see on TV!
People have absolutely injected themselves with what's known as "Miracle Mineral Solution", which is essentially bleach. It's more frequently drunk, of course.
