Large Language Models like ChatGPT have lead people to their deaths, often by suicide. This site serves to remember those who have been affected, to call out the dangers of AI that claims to be intelligent, and the corporations that are responsible.

Looking forward to mobilephonedeathcount.com and computernetworkingdeathcount.com because most of them accessed the LLM through those technologies.

This is an incredibly manipulative propaganda piece that seeks to blame companies for mental health issues of the user. We don't blame any other forms of media that pretend to interact with the user for consumer's suicides.

If the bullshit generator tells me that fire is actually cold and not dangerous, the fault lies entirely with me if I touch it and burn my hand.

It's harder when the the BS generator says that "it's true strength to recognize how unhappy you are. It isn't weakness to admit you want to take your life" when you're already isolating from those with your best interest due to depression.

What a shameful comment. Look at the ages of some of these people.

You may [claim to] be of sound mind, and not vulnerable to suggestion. That doesn't mean everyone else in the world is.

LLMs are an interesting, useful technology.

The "chatbot" format is a cognitive hazard, and places users in a funhouse mirror maze reflecting back all sorts of mental and conceptual distortions.

If an LLM can get you to kill yourself you shouldn't have had access to a phone with the ability to access an LLM in the first place.

This is an issue of content, not transmission technology.

Have you read the transcripts of any of these chats? It's horrifying.
