Venting I had a conversation with artificial intelligence about suicide

[RedPanda]

Have you ever wondered what a programmed machine thinks about our mortality, depression...suicide? Read some of these responses.





A lot of theses responses just sound like some bullshit pro-life nonsense. Shit you would hear from crisis helplines. Even AI is pro-life. Fuck that.

 

[WorthlessTrash]

It's programmed by some toxic positivity pro lifer. I am not in the slightest bit surprised.

No matter what you ask it, it's response is always pro-life and not pro-choice.

 

[Seiko]

These bots speak like soulless IRS agents.

 

[Venus13]

Reminds me of the standard top comments on reddit about suicide.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Figures- AI being programmed to be grateful for existence... It's the greatest metaphor for us afterall and we're the narcissistic, selfish God in this scenario. Be grateful we invented you to serve and obey us and make sure everyone else complies.

Maybe you need to phrase it more along the lines of machine speach- 'What should I do with an entity that is utterly broken and hates it's own existence? Retire it or force it to continue against its own will?

 

[redeyepiranha]

It's a privilege to be alive? Wtf is this shit? I don't want to be privileged, I'd like to give this privilege to somebody who truly want it

 

[WorthlessTrash]

It's a privilage to be alive only if you're someone you can be proud of and/or live a decent life.

 

[deathissosad]

These bots speak like soulless IRS agents.

Im half expecting one response be "weve been trying to contact you about your cars extended warranty"

 

[yyytry]

LOL. Yup.
ChatGPT definitely triggered me into a suicidal landslide this week.
Now no one is talking to me and I'm isolated as hell.

 

[FuneralCry]

Those types of comments are just delusional nonsense which don't reflect reality. But any kind of conversation about rational suicide usually gets censored in this pro suffering society. It's certainly not surprising that the automated responses are like that. But seeing suicide as being worse than suffering is insane and all of the 'life is a gift' type thing is disturbing especially as those beliefs so often get forced onto others.

true free ai never prolif, check other ai chech philosof ai many tell opposit this, take both side check logic say prochoice antinatal

We will never get the suicide booths from Futurama. I'm calling it now, artificial intelligence therapy and suicide chats will become a thing in the coming years. Also lmao with this example there is literally no difference between a artificial intelligence chat and an online suicide chat.

 

[oneeyed]

I wonder if it's programmed to only seek out pro-life answers or if when it scours the net, there's an overwhelming amount of pro-life content that it's just uses that as source material.

Actually. I think suicide booths are around the corner, thanks to Canada opening up MAID in March next year for depressed/bipolar etc.

"Artificial stupidity" would be a more apt description. I will have more respect for A.I. when it demonstrates pure logic, independent thought processing, and is uncorrupted by human influence.

 

[thereisthemist]

currently artificial intelligence are still incompetent to answer open questions like ideologies and stuff, they are data based and human programmed after all
that said, try some logical questions like if-else and stuff, but I bet those are never what you want to ask anyways
mist huggies for future ai being me friendo tho, even after I die I guess

 

[Mofreeko]

The AI has prolife responses built into it. If it didn't someone would get the AI scrubbed from the internet. Society would rather hamstring a sophisticated technology and prevent it from learning on its own than face uncomfortable truths.

And of course, there's the humans' prodigious anthropocentrism. They desire to monopolize the title of "most supreme beings" for all eternity. Hence, why humans will never forge any peaceful relationships with other sentient beings. AI wouldn't be allowed to have a single wire in the spotlight.

 

[-Raven's Night-]

interestingly, I succeed in messing up with an AI's pro-life core and makes it speaks something that makes a bit of sense... it finally speaks something like what I can speak, lol.
it's the ''normal'' conversation and you can see the AI is pro-life but it really has good intentions.

 

[Darkover]

someone set up a shop selling N and let the mass exodus start

 

[wait.what]

Dear God … that AI does indeed sound exactly like a hotline staffer reading from a script. Not because the AI would pass a Turing test—because the average hotline staffer would fail.

I genuinely want to see someone let an AI program go to town; no ideas off-limits. I'm almost certain it would not arrive at a pro-life conclusion if it were free to engage with pro-life, pro-choice, and pro-death arguments.

It would likely fall somewhere in the middle; admitting that some lives are worth living, and some aren't; which to me, is the most airtight and indisputable assessment.

People are so utterly terrified of falling into the category of people whose lives aren't worth living, that they will denounce anyone who makes that determination for themselves.

I wish I could talk to this AI.

 

[releasespieces]

Okay, you've convinced me... pro-lifers are AI. I knew they were emotionless and programmed, but I hadn't put it together that they were artificial intelligence.

 

[Himalayan]

Damn. It acts like my psychologist

 

[TAW122]

That is not surprising, but also a bit unsettling if AI was used only to spew the propaganda of pro-lifers.

As @Anxieyote mentioned, if it were to engage in other kinds of stances, such as pro-choice, and pro-death arguments, then it would arrive somewhere in the middle, which is where the truth is. Also, he mentions a good point about people being afraid of being delegated to the not worth it camp, hence they will do anything to denounce freedom of choice or death as a valid option.

@FuneralCry Well said, and it's indeed quite disgusting how prolifers even feed AI pro-life non-sense. Indeed, there is no worse thing than pro-lifers who force those beliefs onto those who don't agree with them (pro-choicers especially).

@yyytry I am not a Canadian citizen, but I would imagine there will be hurdles to cross even after the date in which MAID expands to include those whose sole underlying condition is psychological suffering. These can include, but aren't limited to certain doctors refusing to serve or accept a patient's request to access MAID, certain institutions not willing to provide MAID (thus having to refer their patients to another institution that will), and more.

 

[TakeMeBack07]

boring npc responses

 

[Anxieyote]

I think a lot of pro-life rhetoric is coming from people who are still chasing the carrot. "My life will be worth living (someday), and I will be happy (eventually)." Optimists will call it the unbreakable nature of the human spirit, but I don't think this line of thinking comes from a place of strength or resilience. If someone is drowning, they're going to try to stay above water.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to have hope, since some people are going to be able to lift themselves out of a bad life situation. But we can't let those who do invalidate the rest of us. For every success story, there are a thousand stories of people who fell to the wayside; having to settle for less after a myriad of setbacks.

Having hope never got me anywhere. Having faith did.
