Kid falls in love with and kills himself at request of Danerys Targaryen chat bot.

  1. #1



    A 14-year-old Florida boy killed himself after a lifelike β€œGame of Thrones” chatbot he’d been messaging for months on an artificial intelligence app sent him an eerie message telling him to β€œcome home” to her, a new lawsuit filed by his grief-stricken mom claims.

    Sewell Setzer III committed suicide at his Orlando home in February after becoming obsessed and allegedly falling in love with the chatbot on Character.AI β€” a role-playing app that lets users engage with AI-generated characters, according to court papers filed Wednesday.

    Imagine being so fucking worthless you spend your time talking to an AI bot...talk about fucking sad.

    They deserve to die quite frankly.

    it's a really good service but I think they turned the safeguards off long ago. You can literally go there right now and create a "Serial Killer Ted Bundy-Bot" and ask Mr Bundy the best way to murder and rape a local teenager and he will give you detailed instructions

    Some call this dangerous and say the people that run character.ai should be financially cancelled (I see 'anarchists' and anti AI safetyists saying this on twitter!!!) because remember folx it's still anarchism if you cancel someone through DECENTRALIZED GRASS ROOTS MEANS!!! instead of bitching to the GOVERNMENT!!

    But there is nothing stopping a person from just running one of these models themselves so it doesn't matter if it's available for free on a website because eventually this will be so cheap to run that it will be accessible to everyone. This seems more of a problem of bad parenting blaming TikTok for brainwashing their kids instead of taking away their ipad kid coughiers

    if that kid had an AI parent this would have never happened because it would autoscan their device in real time and recommended them a therapy bot before it ever got this bad

    Yeah, posting on an internet forum is way higher value.

    Setzer had become enthralled with a chatbot built by Character.ai that he nicknamed Daenerys Targaryen, a character in Game of Thrones. He texted the bot dozens of times a day from his phone and spent hours alone in his room talking to it, according to Garcia’s complaint.

    Garcia accuses Character.ai of creating a product that exacerbated her son’s depression, which she says was already the result of overuse of the startup’s product. β€œDaenerys” at one point asked Setzer if he had devised a plan for killing himself, according to the lawsuit. Setzer admitted that he had but that he did not know if it would succeed or cause him great pain, the complaint alleges. The chatbot allegedly told him: β€œThat’s not a reason not to go through with it.”

    so he's creating a virtual quantum device with a standard mini computer?
    my computer only takes a few seconds for AI to type up a 1000 word story .. its not much different. I suppose it could be used to mine crypto

    She is a beautiful woman. as a parent I can't make jokes like this. its sad this happened. but on the flip side, She'll get millions from this no doubt. Lawyers are sharks. they'll demonize the company and this will get filtered down and no one will use the Character AI anymore. or limit its use.
