I asked AI whether Sn death would be painful and they said it would be

I'm kind of freaking out now because this is the method I had planned. They said it could be very unpleasant because of the lack of oxygen. I also had another question about methylene blue. It's worth having on hand in case I need it also I've heard there's health benefits to taking it anyway

All methods have a form of pain involved , you're dying after all. Death is painful, it's not supposed to be peaceful.

Ultimately it's your choice, but I would be wary of AI's opinion on any CTB matters.

SN is also my chosen method, and the prospect of pain does scare me, too. However, the hard truth is that the vast majority of methods will involve some level of discomfort, if not pain. It's up to you to decide whether your circumstances are enough for you to follow through with the plan.

Don't source your information on suicide from AI.

I just want to have a little bit of an idea of what I'm expecting and not be in for a shock when I do it you know what I mean? I also guess I worry about regretting it as soon as I do it. So confused

It's an understandable thing to worry about. However, the only people who can tell us what it's like to die of SN aren't able to give us the info. There are a few reports on here from people who have survived, that's your best port of call. Keep in mind though that everyone will likely experience different symptoms. It's worth really considering whether it's something you want. SN takes a lot of planning/preparation, so there is ample time to think about it.

All options carry pain. Benzos and it should be good.

AI is probably biased in some regards because of course it wants to put people off.

I'm already in so much physical pain I don't know why I'm even worried.
I really feel like I'm going to end up doing it soon and I just want to say I appreciate the kindness on this form and the information

I'm so sorry :( What is causing your pain?

AI, especially the mainstream stuff like ChatGPT or Google's models, is not a reliable source for anything related to suicide method experience. It's deliberately hardcoded to deter, dissuade, and redirect. Even if you ask it purely hypothetical or scientific questions, it'll lean toward highlighting the most negative or frightening aspects, not because it's accurate, but because it's designed to protect itself and others from liability.

As for SN—it can be peaceful in that it doesn't typically involve violent convulsions, outward trauma, or awareness near the end. But peaceful doesn't mean painless. There's almost no way to die without some degree of discomfort unless it's from natural causes in your sleep.
