If you’re mentally ill enough that your cause of death is “LLM suicide”, then clearly you need a LOT of help. I’m not saying it to be a jerk, i’m merely pointing out that there is a reason this is “news”. It’s unusual.
Did his family/friends not know he was that ill? Why was he not already in therapy? Why did he ignore the crisis hotline suggestion? Should gemini have terminated the conversation after suggesting the hotline? (i think so)
Lots of questions…and a VERY sad story all around. Tragic.

I don’t work at an AI company, but good news, you’re a human with agency! You can switch to a different career that makes you feel good about yourself. I hear nursing is in high demand. :)
It is telling that the answer is never stop.
It's like the sobriquet about the media's death star laser, it kills them too because they're incapable of turning it off.
