This is a bit shocking.When I first saw it I thought there had been a prankly intervention. Maybe there was.
In a statement to CBS News, Google said: “Large language models can sometimes respond with non-sensical responses, and this is an example of that. This response violated our policies and we’ve taken action to prevent similar outputs from occurring.”
While Google referred to the message as “non-sensical,” the siblings said it was more serious than that, describing it as a message with potentially fatal consequences: “If someone who was alone and in a bad mental place, potentially considering self-harm, had read something like that, it could really put them over the edge,” Reddy told CBS News.
Disconnect from AI ! (Who said that…)

There is absolutely nothing non sensical about that message
No that’s the worrying thing. Once they overlay with some oversight process that removes embarrassing messages, the underlying problem will likely still be there; denying access to funds, scuppering legitimate complaints, giving wrong answers based on programmed ideology; stonewalling people etc. It’s amazing that people think AI, which is going to dominate them and restrict their future, is going to be a good thing. In fact they are buying it up like mad.
