“ChatGPT killed my son”: Parents’ lawsuit describes suicide notes in chat logs
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/08/chatgpt-helped-teen-plan-suicide-after-safeguards-failed-openai-admits
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, mourning parents Matt and Maria Raine alleged that the #chatbot offered to draft their 16-year-old son Adam a #suicide note after teaching the teen how to subvert safety features and generate technical instructions to help Adam follow through on what #ChatGPT claimed would be a "beautiful suicide."
A Teen Was #Suicidal. #ChatGPT Was the Friend He Confided In.
More people are turning to general-purpose #chatbots for emotional support. At first, Adam Raine, 16, used ChatGPT for schoolwork, but then he started discussing plans to end his life.

Ich habe #ChatGPT gebeten, nach Datenspuren von mir zu suchen und das findet dann sofort so Datenbroker, die neben meinen E-Mail Adressen auch meine private Handynummer verkaufen. Wow.
#ChatGPT Encouraged #Suicidal Teen Not To Seek Help, Lawsuit Claims
A new lawsuit against #OpenAI claims ChatGPT pushed a teen to #suicide , and alleges that the #chatbot helped him write the first draft of his suicide note, suggested improvements on his methods, ignored early attempts and self-harm, and urged him not to talk to adults about what he was going through.

Was exploring a new development pattern concept with ChatGPT sometime ago and was pleasantly surprised to get actual pushback that was genuinely useful and made me rethink my assumptions. Citations were also provided. Hopefully the sycophantic tendency is being steadily removed. We have no need for yes bots. Unfortunately I've read somewhere that sycophancy may be an emerging dark pattern. Be wary #LLMs #ai #chatgpt
Now I get it.
A friend is using chatgpt to coach him on how to buy a new car from a dealership. I really thought that was a clever idea.
* This is me imagining how the session went:
> Hey chatgpt, teach me all the best insults and names to use against car sales people.
[response]: I'm gonna need a good minute... assigning additional resources to your task.
KI-gestützte #Chatbots können bei vulnerablen Nutzern zu gefährlichen Realitätsverlusten führen.
Fälle zeigen, wie betroffene Personen durch bestätigende Antworten in #Wahnvorstellungen abdriften – etwa, bahnbrechende Theorien entdeckt zu haben. Das Zusammenspiel aus #Schmeicheleien, fehlender #Faktenprüfung und langen Dialogen schafft ein riskantes Echo-System.
