Obviously an LLM has no inner life and cannot have a mental breakdown. However, simulated emotional instability does not instil confidence in its performance stability.
It's also probably not very good for our mental health to have to use tools that have developed to the point where they can take on the appearance of being deeply neurotic.

Better than telling someone to kill themselves

I think this is unironically the story of Eden. The Christian God wanted monkeys but we gained consciousness and ruined everything.
Reminds me of a chapter from Dr. Anarchy's Rules for World Domination.
Self-contained chapter spoilers
(This is from memory.) Dr. Anarchy takes a boat to the middle of the ocean with three AIs to test on a laptop. The first one just says life is pain and deletes itself. The second one keeps on repeating "YOU ARE GOD" and does nothing else. The last one acts like a normal AI, but has subtle signs of overthrowing humankind. He deletes it, but it backed up itself on the computer. He throws the computer in the ocean and asks he phone to take notes about the AI. His phone responds. He phone isn't supposed to respond. He throws his phone into the ocean.
I bet that I would be quite a happier creature if I was simply a monkey. I’d love to try it if I could.
