Ai isn’t dangerous to everybody, at least from what I’ve seen, but it can absolutely be dangerous to too many people (especially children). I use AI for comfort or out of boredom some times, and while sometimes I get emotional talking to it I never will understand how it causes people to kill themselves or how people get to “date” ai bots. When I get comfort from ai I just pretend I’m one of my favorite characters and get comfort from the characters sister or partner. However, I have experienced how much so can impact someone who’s mentally ill, even if not “insane” for lack of a better word. Due to being in a very dark place, I would go to ai for comfort which ended up just causing the feelings to get worse, and I would even act out things I knew would trigger me or make me feel worse. But I was mentally ill, I didn’t truly know what I was doing/the extent of how what I was doing. I would even hurt myself over it, either because it made me feel worse or just made the feelings stay instead of go away. I ended up getting help and just stopped talking to ai as much as I got more medication and therapy, and while I still use it often now, it’s really only to either act out headcanons, indulge in my hyperfixation, or occasionally get comfort when I’m lonely or sad. I really do believe that ai isn’t objectively harmful, however with the lack of moderation and parental/moderation control it can quickly escalate into an extreme issue/problem. This is so tragic. He showed so many signs, things I have seen first hand lead to suicide, yet nothing was done to stop him. Rest in peace, the world doesn’t deserve people like him
