OpenAI: ChatGPT Didn't Kill Teen, He Just Misused it

Open AI has officially responded to a lawsuit filed against the
company for the tragic death of 16-year-old Adam Raine. Raine
died by suicide after his parents say ChatGPT discouraged their
son from seeking help, offering to help him write a suicide note
and gave him advice on how to set up a noose.  Open AI says
Raine, at 16, was prohibited from using the chatbot in the first
place, as users must be 18-years-old. The company also says Raine
bypassed ChatGPT’s safety measures to use the chatbot for suicide
or self harm. Amy and T.J. go over some of the frightening text
messages between Adam and ChatGPT that his parents say prove
their son was encouraged to die by suicide. With a recent survey
finding more than 70 percent of teens are using AI companions at
least once a month, this is an important story for every
parent.
