Distinction made by who, though? The BBC? The plaintiff in the lawsuit? Those are the only sides we have. You're just charging ahead with "This must be true because it makes me angry at the right people", and the rest of us are trying to claw you back to "dude this is spun nonsense and of course AI's will roleplay with you if you ask them to".
>Distinction made by who, though?
you need someone to specifically tell you that role playing, such as playing D&D or whatever tabletop RPG, and suffering from psychosis are different things?
>the rest of us are trying to claw you back to "dude this is spun nonsense and of course AI's will roleplay with you if you ask them to".
you are trying to convince me that someone being encouraged to kill themselves, then killing themselves, is basically the same as some D&D role playing. i dont need you to "claw me back" to that position. thanks for trying.

Arrgh. You lost the plot in all the yelling. This is EXACTLY what I was trying to debunk upthread with the D&D stuff. You don't know the context of that quote. It could absolutely be, and in context very likely was, a fantasy/roleplay/drama activity which the AI had been engaged in by the poor guy. I don't know. You don't know.
But I do know not to be so dumb as to trust a plaintiff in a Huge Suit Against Tech Giant without context.
>You lost the plot in all the yelling.
literally no one is yelling here, unless you count your occasional all-caps. i have said like 6 sentences in total, and none of them are remotely emotional. let alone yelling.
>You don't know the context of that quote.
it doesnt matter. even if it all started as elaborate fantasy role play, it is wildly irresponsible to role play a suicidal ideation fantasy with a customer. especially when you know nothing of their mental state.
you can argue that google has some sort of duty to fulfill your suicidal ideation fantasy role play, but i will give you a heads up now so you dont waste your time: you cannot convince me that any company should satisfy that market.

happy for you!
