I wonder what it means. If you search for music by Suicidal Tendencies then YouTube shows you a suicide hotline. What does it mean for OpenAI to say people are talking about suicide? They didn't open up and read a million chats... they have automated detection and that is being triggered, which is not necessarily the same as people meaningfully discussing suicide.
You don’t have to read far into the article to reach this:
It doesn’t unpack their analysis method but this does sound a lot more specific than just counting all sessions that mention the word suicide, including chats about that band.
Every third chat now gets triggered, the ChatGPT is pretty broken lately. Just check out ChatGPT subreddit, its pretty much in chaos with moderators going for censorship of complaints. So many users are mad they made a megathread for it. I cancelled my subscription yesterday, it just turned into a cyberkaren
Claude got hints that I might be suicidal just from normal chat. I straight up admitted I think of suicide daily.
Just normal life now I guess.
Stay strong friend! I know I'm just a stranger but I'm here if you need someone to talk to.
I will try. It's hard not at least having enough free time to reflect on things.
No pressure! Time keeps going, so I hope you'll eventually find the time to reflect. It doesn't have to be now, either. But I understand you, sometimes you need to stop and think, and it feels bad when you can't. Although sometimes I'd prefer not having enough time to think, I tend to overthink a lot. Take care and stay strong ✌️
