If people are actually relying on LLMs for validation of ideas they come up with during mental health episodes, they have to be pretty sick to begin with, in which case, they will find validation anywhere.
If you've spent time with people with schizophrenia, for example, they will have ideas come from all sorts of places, and see all sorts of things as a sign/validation.
One moment it's that person who seemed like they might have been a demon sending a coded message, next it's the way the street lamp creates a funny shaped halo in the rain.
People shouldn't be using LLMs for help with certain issues, but let's face it, those that can't tell it's a bad idea are going to be guided through life in a strange way regardless of an LLM.
It sounds almost impossible to achieve some sort of unity across every LLM service whereby they are considered "safe" to be used by the world's mentally unwell.
