Who are these people? This is ridiculous. :)

I guess with so many humans, there is bound to be a small number of people who have no ability to think for themselves and believe everything a chat bot is writing in their web browser.

People even have romantic relationships with these things.

I dont agree with the argument that chat gpt should "push back". They have an example in the article where the guy asked for tall bridges to jump from, and chat gpt listed them of course.

Are we expecting the llm to act like a psychologist, evaluating if the users state of mind is healthy before answering questions?

Very slippery slope if you ask me.

Me neither, but if they are being presented as "artificial people to chat with" they must.

I'd rather LLMs stay tools, not pretend people.

Some of the LLMs referred to are advertised as AI psychological help, so they must either act like psychologists (which they can't) or stop being allowed as digital therapists.
