It’s not just suicide, it’s a golden parachute from God.

Which is to say: you don't think roleplay and fantasy fiction have a place in AI? Because that's pretty clearly what this is and the frame in which it was presented.
Are you one of the people that would have banned D&D back in the 80's? Because to me these arguments feel almost identical.
I've seen this called AI Psychosis before [1]
I don't really think this is every possible to stop fully, your essentially trying to jailbreak the LLM, and once jailbroken, you can convince it of anything.
The user was given a bunch of warnings before successfully getting it into this state, it's not as if the opening message was "Should I do it?" followed by a "Yes".
This just seems like something anti-ai people will use as ammunition to try and kill AI. Logically though it falls into the same tool misuse as cars/knives/guns.
I agree at face value (but really it's hard to say without seeing the full context)
Honestly the degree of poeticism makes the issue more complicated to me. A lot of people (and religions) are comforted by talking about death in ways similar to that. It's not meant to be taken literally.
But I agree, it's problematic in the same way that you have people reading religious texts and acting on it literally, too.
