I think NYT would also (and almost certainly has) written unfavorable pieces about unfettered forums like 4chan as well.
But ad hominem aside, the evidence is both ample and mounting that OpenAI's software is indeed unsafe for people with mental health issues and children. So it's not like their claim is inaccurate.
Now you could argue, as you suggest, that we are all accountable for our actions. Which presumably is the argument for legalizing heroine / cocaine / meth.

That's not the only argument. The war on drugs is an expensive failure. We could instead provide clean, regulated drugs that are safer than whatever unknown chemical salad is coming from black market dealers. This would put a massive dent in the gang and cartel business, which would improve safety beyond the drugs themselves. Then use the billions of dollars to help people.
