Do I feel bad for the above person.

I do. Deeply.

But having lived through the 80's and 90's, the satanic panic I gotta say this is dangerous ground to tread. If this was a forum user, rather than a LLM, who had done all the same things, and not reached out, it would have been a tragedy but the story would just have been one among many.

The only reason we're talking about this is because anything related to AI gets eyeballs right now. And our youth suicides epidemic outweighs other issues that get lots more attention and money at the moment.
