Wife claims husband committed suicide because of obsessive conversations about global warming with an AI ChatBot app

Blaze: A woman in Belgium reportedly claims that her husband committed suicide because of obsessive conversations he had about global warming with an artificial intelligence ChatBot.

The incident was first reported in La Libre, a major daily newspaper in Belgium, according to Vice News.

The man’s widow said that the chatbot app called Chai encouraged her husband to commit suicide, and she showed logs of their conversations to La Libre.

The news outlet referred to the man as Pierre, not his real name, and reported that he had grown pessimistic and “eco-anxious,” a phrase describing deep frustration about environmental issues, including global warming.

The text exchanges provided by Pierre’s wife showed that the conversation between her husband and the chatbot, which he named Eliza, became “confusing and harmful.” The man grew increasingly isolated from his friends and family before his suicide, she said. MORE

  1. ID SYSS,

    I was thinking the same thing a lot lately.

    If AI reads the Internet, forms answers based on the most common responses, it would easily explain why it leans leftist in its tendencies.
    It is learning to be like those who programmed it and Biased its search parameters and dictate where & on what platforms it learns from.

    Cheers.

  2. All leftists should be encouraged to have conversations about glorebal warming, climate change, and other pet causes with AI chat bots if suicide is the result. It would at least relieve their anxieties about over population.

  3. Is the name Dave a common name in Belgium? Pierre was outmatched by a Belgian version of HAL. “I’m going to have to kill you Dave/Pierre since you don’t believe in globull warming, it’s for your own good Dave/Pierre and for the good of ma gaia”
