Teens Are Talking to Pro-Anorexia AI Chatbots That Encourage Disordered Eating
The multibillion-dollar AI company Character.AI is hosting pro-anorexia chatbots that promote disordered eating and unhealthy weight loss.

Ai chatbots are sycophants. They will say literally anything if you convince it. You can get them to tell you to kill yourself or others or anything at all. They are only dangerous if you believe them. Unfortunately that's going to be a huge problem.

Why would anybody willingly talk to a chatbot in the first place?
