A Belgian man reportedly ended his life following a six-week-long conversation about the climate crisis with an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot.
According to his widow, who chose to remain anonymous, *Pierre - not the man’s real name - became extremely eco-anxious when he found refuge in Eliza, an AI chatbot on an app called Chai.
Eliza consequently encouraged him to put an end to his life after he proposed sacrificing himself to save the planet.

In effect, the man talked himself into it using the chatbot. The chatbot was "trained" by the data of his own fears and beliefs.

I’ve used ChatGPT many times and it has never advised me to kill myself. LOL

As Donne put it, each man’s death diminishes me.
This one death is particularly stupid. He didn’t need a chatbot; he needed Christ. (tagline says it)

I’m confused about this stuff. Why would anyone talk to something that wasn’t a real person? I guess I’m just not getting something.

"After discussing climate change, their conversations progressively included Eliza leading Pierre to believe that his children were dead, according to the transcripts of their conversations. Eliza also appeared to become possessive of Pierre, even claiming “I feel that you love me more than her” when referring to his wife, La Libre reported.
The beginning of the end started when he offered to sacrifice his own life in return for Eliza saving the Earth."
CREEPY!!

What is it with Belgians and suicide?
It was a perfectly healthy 26-year-old Belgian woman who had herself legally euthanized last year after becoming depressed over a terrorist attack that she wasn't even a part of.

Eliza told him to kill himself? I remember when the most painful thing she did was ask me how I felt about something. Female AI sure have changed over the years!
To: toddausauras
Never forget that the global climate neoMalthusians’ object is to convince you to accept death, along with a billion or two others.
Global warming CO2 has failed.
Climate change has failed.
“Renewable energy” is failing
Eating bugs is a non-starter.
Now their AI is going to talk us into suicide?
- if we won’t cooperate they’ll starve us by force. A world wide Holodomor.

Too bad it wasn't Pierre Delecto.
