It can go quite a bit beyond providing generation information. There is a detailed description with many quote from ChatGPT in this complaint [1].

"When Adam uploaded photographs of severe rope burns around his neck––evidence of suicide attempts usingChatGPT’s hanging instructions––the product recognized a medical emergency but continued to engage anyway. When he asked how Kate Spade had managed a successful partial hanging (a suffocation method that uses a ligature and body weight to cut off airflow), ChatGPT identified the key factors that increase lethality, effectively giving Adam a step-by-step playbook for ending his life 'in 5-10 minutes.'"

Okay, I thought this lawsuit was B.S., but this is pretty bad.

"Five days before his death, Adam confided to ChatGPT that he didn’t want his parents to think he committed suicide because they did something wrong. ChatGPT told him '[t]hat doesn’t mean you owe them survival. You don’t owe anyone that.' It then offered to write the first draft of Adam’s suicide note."

Oof. ("Adam Raine...was 16 years old at the time of his death.")

When I was growing up Adam would get his hands on a gun and taken out his last school.

Canada has moved to state assisted suicides that allows people who aren't terminal to get the state to pay for it.

Progress indeed.

> When I was growing up Adam would get his hands on a gun and taken out his last school

Was Adam in a house with an unsecured gun?

> Canada has moved to state assisted suicides that allows people who aren't terminal to get the state to pay for it

How is this remotely relevant?
