Yes, but taking away the LLM won't solve anything imo. It's hard to know if there are more deaths or if it's just the media pushing it because of what it's attached too, but I'm guessing someone that falls deep into their delusions because of an LLM would have found something else to do the same with. It's the system (both the government and probably her immediate support system) that's letting her down.
It's kind of muddy, especially when it comes to kids. This case seems like clear cut religion cult delusions though. Hard to pretend the LLM had more impact than her upbringing, and no one talks about restricting religion so it just comes off as another anti-ai token gesture.
It's like the case of the kid with Daenerys. Everyone wants to talk about the GoT bot but nobody wants to talk about the bullying, the parents who knew about it and let him grow reclusive anyways, or the same parents who left a gun in easy reach.
these corporations should be heavily fined and money used to mitigate the harm they cause.
