OpenAI faces grim lawsuit over ChatGPT’s alleged role in teen overdose

Credit: Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR OpenAI faces a wrongful-death lawsuit after ChatGPT allegedly advised 19-year-old Sam Nelson on combining kratom and Xanax. Nelson’s parents claim ChatGPT became an “illicit drug coach” while he sought advice on experimenting with drugs. OpenAI denies wrongdoing, saying the implicated model is no longer available and that ChatGPT is not a substitute for medical care.
