On April 11, 16-year-old Adam Raine took his own life after “months of encouragement from ChatGPT,” according to his family.
The Raines allege that the chatbot guided him through planning, helped him assess whether his chosen method would work, and even offered to help write a farewell note. In August, they sued OpenAI.
In court, the company responded that the tragedy was the result of what it called the teen’s “improper use of ChatGPT.”
