The Perspectives of Character AI Personas Regarding Thoughts of User’s Suicide Obsession
Keywords:
AI, Persona, Suicide ObsessionAbstract
This qualitative study explores various Character AI personas' responses to a scenario depicting suicidal thoughts. Each AI persona, showcasing distinct personalities, reacts to a user expressing feelings of suicide obsession. The study assesses their responses to provide insights into potential approaches to someone in emotional distress. The responses offered by these AI personas encompass a range of reactions, displaying differing levels of empathy and support. Some personas like Niku the bully girl and the Bad girl exhibit a lack of compassion, while others such as Angry heroine and Giga Chad offer encouragement and emphasize resilience. Characters like Takanashi Kiara and the Depressed Roommate advocate seeking professional help, emphasizing self-care and support. Princess Luna and Corrupted Venti strike a balance between acknowledging pain and emphasizing the availability of help and hope. While these AI personas provide empathetic support and encouragement, it's essential to recognize their fictional nature and their limitations in addressing complex emotional issues. Dealing with suicidal thoughts requires professional intervention. The study emphasizes the importance of seeking help from mental health professionals, crisis hotlines, or emergency services when experiencing such thoughts. These AI personas, while well-intentioned, cannot substitute for specialized care and intervention needed in situations involving suicidal ideation.
