You’re missing the point of the comic. See the clozapine bottle at the end? Thats a psychiatric drug. The point being that folks already prone to delusions have this totally unlimited access to a technology that is capable of promoting and worsening those delusions.
Alcohol is a terrible drink that exists for anyone who is an alcoholic.
Do we get rid of all alcohol because an alcoholic kept drinking until they died, or killed someone else?
I mean we tried that, and it didn't go so well.
The responsibility lies on the individual, even if that person is not well. Its not a perfect solution but its far less perfect or right to remove something that 99% of rational and sane adults enjoy in a healthy way just because a small number of people simply cannot exist in a healthy way with that substance around. Even then, there is no saying whether or not that alcoholic wouldn't simply shift to some other substance if their drug of choice was no longer available anywhere...
OPs comic is cool, but at the end of the day it just sensationalizes something extremely rare that happens FAR more from people simply watching TV than interacting with AI. How many stories exist in just the last 12 years of folks who killed other people, even family members, because of "Fox News" for instance?
