I don’t much like that take. Ars commits excellent journalism.
From the story:
About 3 percent of students in the study had positive mental health outcomes, reporting that talking to the chatbot “halted their suicidal ideation.” But researchers also found “there are some cases where their use is either negligible or might actually contribute to suicidal ideation.”
3% success vs what? 6% sent over the edge? 10% 20% ?
What shitty investigative journalism. If the journalist asked for a specific figure but was evaded then it should be stated in the article.

From the story:
I don’t think they contacted the researchers and the linked study does not seem to give the answer (I spent a few minutes looking).
I generally don’t go about doing research for free.
I removed the insult.
Thank you.
