This is a little different. While bullying certainly leads to suicides, it's pretty rare that telling someone to kill themselves in anger is going to be the single thing that actually makes them do it. What can be insidious, though I believe there are more and more safeguards against this, is that these kids are getting close to these AI agents, using them in an almost therapeutic method, and then being encouraged to kill themselves. That's wildly different than how things were in the old days. It went from being something bullies said to you, now it's something that is said by a "friend."
