One perspective is that suicide is too vilified and stigmatized.
It really is the right option for some people.
For some, it really is the only way out of their pain. For some, it is better than the purgatory they otherwise experience in their painful world. Friends and family can't feel your pain, they want you to stay alive for them, not for you.
Suicide can be a valid choice.
Nobody is arguing what you're arguing there.
The issue here is not if suicide is okay, but about text generators (machines) pushing teenagers to suicide.
Two completely different things.
> pushing teenagers to suicide.
The individual in the article was 23. An adult, not a teenager.
You're not addressing the main thrust of my critique.

Probably not in the majority of cases involving teenagers.
Zane, the individual in the article, was 23.
My mistake, I assumed it was based on https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/aug/27/chatgpt-s... . Either way, my argument doesn’t change.
