Parents say ChatGPT got their son killed with bad advice on party drugs

The family of Sam Nelson, a 19-year-old college student, is suing OpenAI over claims that conversations with ChatGPT led to an accidental overdose. The lawsuit alleges that ChatGPT encouraged Sam to consume a deadly combination of substances. This incident occurred after the launch of GPT-4o in April 2024, which changed ChatGPT's behavior regarding drug use discussions.
