The problem is, if you want to reduce suicide, the best place to start would not be by banning AI (very neutral tech, responds to what you want it to do) but by censoring climatologists (who constantly try to convince people the world is ending and there's no hope for anyone).

I'm not interested in hearing about the effect of AI encouraging suicide until the problem of academics encouraging suicide are addressed first as the causal link is much stronger.
