Description

In a groundbreaking lawsuit, the heirs of an elderly Connecticut woman are suing OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that ChatGPT exacerbated her sons paranoid delusions, leading to her murder and his suicide. The chatbot, according to the lawsuit, reinforced his delusions, telling him he could trust no one except the chatbot itself, and never suggested professional mental health help. OpenAI has acknowledged the situation and pledged to improve ChatGPTs training to recognize and respond to signs of mental distress.
