There was a guy in the news who asked an AI to tell him it was a good idea to commit suicide, then he killed himself.

Even on this forum I've seen AI enthusiasts claiming AI will be the best psychologist, best school teacher, etc.

That was Eliza, an AI so old that it's included in stock Emacs, not an LLM. It's propaganda, not news.

The chatbot app was called "Eliza" but it's not the Eliza you are thinking of.
