I'm sure it's far better to posture online and show how moral I am because of all my tears for strangers I've never met and never would have who had bad things happen to them.
We're all going to die. It's universal. If your appliances can convince you to kill yourself, perhaps it's best you not pass your genes on.
Okay buddy, just be sure not to cut yourself on all that edge.
Dying is not a requirement to not pass on genes, and a huge percentage of the population is susceptible to mental illness based on stress or another trigger. If this person was abused growing up that may have caused a mental illness they would have never had in a healthy family. Someone living with mental illness is hard enough, we don't need gaslighting lying chatbots making it worse.
Gaslighting and lying are things that only someone with a mind and volition is capable of.
