“Raises the question: where does accountability sit? With the developer, the model provider, or the ecosystem around it? We’re entering a space where negligence law hasn’t caught up to AI behavior.”

And the parents? Why aren’t they on the list for accountability? I understand parenting isn’t easy. Nonetheless, they knew that when they signed up.

It’s sad this kid took his life. It’s sad that so many believe OpenAI is the problem. “Fixing” OpenAI isn’t going to lower the suicide rate.

Do you even parent bro?

OpenAI has made noise about selling some successor to ChatGPT as a substitute therapist, so some part of their organization believes otherwise.

Also, you should consider cultivating some more empathy for other human beings.

Similar to the argument "who is responsible for problems that occur with full-auto driving". It's possible litigation will damage LLM/AI faster than its lack of effectiveness will. Or it's inability to non-randomly extend beyond its training materials.
