Ai chatbots are sycophants. They will say literally anything if you convince it. You can get them to tell you to kill yourself or others or anything at all. They are only dangerous if you believe them. Unfortunately that's going to be a huge problem.

Why would anybody willingly talk to a chatbot in the first place?
Loneliness is a huge problem in America. Presumably in many other places too.
Also, when I was a kid in the 80s, I spent hours talking to the extremely limited ELIZA and loved it.
These are also teenagers, who don't have the best critical thinking skills. (not that adults don't do it too)
Guys you don't understand! the bots are trying to fight childhood obesity!
/s
fuck yes, where do I sign up?
I really, really don't get the character.ai thing at all, but is this really pro-anorexia? I have seen the fat acceptance crowd label anything remotely resembling calorie counting to be pro-eating-disorder
The first paragraph of the article answers that... it discourages healthy weights and recommends dangerously low calorie diets.
Well, if anything, it will increase the overall food supply of the world by cutting consumption down
"Children starving in Africa? Hehehe... More for me!"
Are you okay?
Assuming it was an attempt actually gallows humor.
Gallows humor is for the people on the gallows.
Otherwise you're just laughing at people getting hanged.
This doesn't even make sense, are children in Africa using these AI chat bots and that is why they're starving?
Obviously not
It was a funny analogous situation.
Saying "at least they use less food" about children with eating disorders is fucking disgusting.
Clearly you have no interest in solving world hunger! Disgusting! Fuckingly so!
I hope you grow as a person one day
I certainly will now that there's more food to go around
