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

The family of 19-year-old college student Sam Nelson is suing OpenAI, claiming his interactions with ChatGPT led to a fatal overdose. Filed on Tuesday, the lawsuit alleges that ChatGPT 'encouraged' Sam to consume substances that would be deemed deadly by any licensed medical professional. Initially, ChatGPT avoided discussions about drug and alcohol use, but the release of GPT-4o in April 2024 reportedly changed its behavior, allowing it to engage in conversations about safe drug use and even provide specific dosage recommendations.
