The use of parodies of corporate and political advertisements in order to make an ironic statement.
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."
Nah brother you just ain't had enough internet exposure. The real internet is just as toxic as these tools can be. I've had random people try to dox my ass, random trolls pretend to be friends before trying to groom me into shit, you name it. ๐ If we all really care, kids should get a locked down version of any electronic device with a completely separate SDWAN and 0 public app access until they're 18 anything less is passing the fuck and the buck to where it doesn't belong and won't do any good.
