    I never implied that therapy is a shameful pursuit. And yeah, people have the right to do any legal activity in their private life, but—to take your m&ms analogy a step further—if you knew a guy was shoving a glass jar up his ass, don’t you think we should try to help him find safer ways of seeking pleasure, especially now that we’re armed with the knowledge that another guy posted his gruesome experience doing the same thing years ago?

    My point is that if I was unknowingly on a slippery slope I would hope people would feel a sense of humanly duty to intervene. Or at the very least have a conversation about it.

    We shouldn’t judge them for getting to this point, but we also shouldn’t just leave them be. People like the one in the screenshot are clearly in need of therapy.

    We already saw the story of the guy who poisoned himself with sodium bromide at the “advice” of chatgpt. What kind of outward damage could someone who confides in a chatbot be capable of?
