That was the most relevant part of the article. It shows what wasn't clear by the title or the first part of the article, that the kid killed himself because of mental illness, not because an insidious chat bot encouraged him to do so.

I find that to be a shallow interpretation of implications with mental health and AI.

Of course there are implications between mental health and AI, but I didn't write my comment to address those, nor did I attempt to interpret any implications. My comment was solely on the section of the article the parent comment referenced and its relevance to the rest of the article.
