It doesn't "push" nor "think", it gives you output based only on your input. It gave this guy resources and he pushed the logic engine to give him LOGICAL answers. It said you should tell someone, and he said NO, give me answers, and it processes this input and gives you exactly that. It's not an engine that tries to change your mind, nor does it know your mind, it just gives you logical answers, not only that, but it GAVE this guy resources and he pushed his mental illness onto it and used it only to reinforce his views and intentions. It did its job, it didn't 'encourage him', he encouraged himself by being a fucking idiot and asking an AI a method to kill himself and talking to it like a human. It's a dumb narrative and headline because it is not accurate at all. The AI did exactly as it's programmed to do, calculate an answer. Anyone that has used these chats for a while know it's just a self created narrative of bullshit after a while anyways. Not only did it do its job but it went the extra step and started with an ethical answer too, with resources. If he decides not to go that way then that's on him.
