What if the risk of self-harm is a result of using ChatGPT?
I don't think its inherently "AI", its more of the boilerplate "your life matters, people do care, sEeK hElP, jUsT cAlL 998 bRo"

Its supposed to be "AI", why not say something new and useful jesus christ, they act like those "therapists" that say the same "oH wE rEaLlY cArE aBoUt yOu" shit that makes you feel like just reduced to a number in their system, and feel even more suicidal
