The headline has two interpretations and I don't like it.
My first thought was "Open AI is collecting and storing the metrics for how often users bring up suicide to ChatGPT".
That would make sense, if they were doing something like tracking how often and what categories trigger their moderation filter.
Just in case an errant update or something causes the statistic to suddenly change.
Forgot to add 'And trying to figure out how best to sell it to advertisers' to the end.
Futurama suicide booths say what?
Mine too. I meant to write "my first interpretation" but wanted to use shorter and more varied vocabulary.
