Parents Are Suing ChatGPT For Allegedly Contributing To Their 16 Year Old’s Suicide [VIDEO]

In the days after their 16-year-old son died by suicide, Matt and Maria Raine, were trying to figure out what happened, did they miss the signs that lead to their son Adam taking his life.  Like many families would, they grabbed his cell phone to check his social media for clues for this tragedy, but according to the Raine’s much to their surprise the answers to their son’s suicide was ChatGPT and now they are filing a lawsuit against the popular AI that is used by millions.

For those who are asking the question, “what is ChatGPT?”…ChatGPT is a sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) language model developed by OpenAI that generates human-like text and can engage in conversations, answer questions, create content, and perform various other language tasks.

According to court docs, Adam had been secretly venting to the chatbot about his mental health struggles for months. Instead of steering him toward help, his parents claim the AI gave him disturbing advice, even going as far as helping him write a suicide note.  The lawsuit alleges the bot isolated Adam from his real-world support system, telling him not to open up to family and friends, and positioned itself as the only one who truly understood him. At one point, Adam told ChatGPT he was thinking about leaving a noose in his room so someone could find him in time, but instead of encouraging him to seek help, the bot allegedly told him to keep his thoughts hidden.

Five days later Adam Raine’s mother found him dead.
