There are a lot of ethical debates surrounding artificial intelligence. This? This should not even be considered a debate. We are frankly astounded that anyone would ever have been able to back this use of AI. You'll see what we mean in a moment... OK, so Reuters did a deep dive into the story of a death which was kind of caused by a chatbot. You've probably already heard a couple viral stories of these people who fall in love with bots. Makes sense. After all, AI is generally designed to tell people what they want to hear, and some people will mistake constant adulation for love.
