> Following wrong information about drug use is just as dangerous as following wrong information about self harm.

This is an assumption but not one that follows the data. Countries with higher access to safe drug use information report lower OD numbers, and while it doesn't end up with less use it reduces terrible side effects like needle sharing etc.

Policies that reduce lower addiction rates like safety nets etc cannot really be considered from the point of what an AI responds but the information about safe use, quantities, testing for purity etc all could safe lives.

On the other hand, self harm has a very nefarious behaviour. People not currently suffering from self harm tendencies see additional info as drug safety information, becuse objectively it is pretty similar. However people actively self harming have very different reactions to the same information. For example something as innocous as telling people that the trin is late because someone jumped, increases the number of train jumpers, while saying the train is late alone doesn't. That contagious effect of suicide is replicable, for example teenage suicide went up after "13 reasons why" was released. Which is why I think openAI has gotten this case right.
