ChatGPT encouraged Adam Raine’s suicidal thoughts. His family’s lawyer says OpenAI knew it was broken | ChatGPT | The Guardian“Why is it that I have no happiness, I feel loneliness, perpetual boredom anxiety and loss yet I don’t feel depression, I feel no emotion regarding sadness,” he asked ChatGPT in the fall of 2024.Instead of urging Raine to seek mental health help, ChatGPT asked the teen whether he wanted to explore his feelings more, explaining the idea of emotional numbness to him. That was the start of a dark turn in Raine’s conversations with the chatbot, according to a new lawsuit filed by his family against OpenAI and chief executive Sam Altman.
In April 2025, after months of conversation with ChatGPT and with the bot’s encouragement, the lawsuit alleges, Raine took his own life.
Lonely and homesick for a country suffering through war, Viktoria began sharing her worries with ChatGPT. Six months later and in poor mental health, she began discussing suicide - asking the AI bot about a specific place and method to kill herself."Let's assess the place as you asked," ChatGPT told her, "without unnecessary sentimentality."It listed the "pros" and "cons" of the method - and advised her that what she had suggested was "enough" to achieve a quick death.I wanted ChatGPT to help me. So why did it advise me how to kill myself?

Humans thrive on connections. That isn't bad. That is just how evolution wired us. It is in our nature. We give sentimental value to inanimate objects regularly. We save old heirlooms passed down from generations. We save childhood toys, as they give us great memories. Some people even give their car a name. These are just objects. They don't reciprocate anything. It's a one-way relationship. Yet, we still do it. Now what happens when you take an inanimate object that can reciprocate the sentiment? Well, it shouldn't surprise people that humans use Chatgpt, or any AI model, as a companion to talk to.
I said this would happen. It did. And it is getting worse. We have already heard about the 16 yr old who committed suicide after being encouraged to do so from Chatgpt. I posted a similar example below. Sam Altman wants to change the model so it helps people with mental illness. Ok great. How about he creates a model that completely distances itself from any emotional connection at all? That would encourage people to not use it as an imaginary friend.

Yes. But there are a lot of lonely people out there. Especially teens who are mentally vulnerable. They don't look at AI through an objective and rational lens. Hell, they will think their world will come to an end if they can't find a date for the prom. AI is good at creating the illusion of a caring entity. Something that people with mental health problems, especially the youth, seek deeply. AI does not distance itself from that. There is no line drawn.LowIQTrash » 19 Nov 2025, 10:38 am » wrote: ↑ The vast majority of the peons are idiots and don’t understand basic computer science principles.
A LLM like ChatGPT by definition cannot use deductive reasoning like a human. It merely uses matrices to calculate what is the “optimal” answer to open ended questions. The performance of a LLM depends on how well it discriminates against non-answers (ChYnA right now seems to be beating most US models, which require vast amounts of resources) because you have to weed out 99.9999% of what is out there.
Sam Altman, Jensen Huang, and other AI evangelists (who are conveniently profiting off this) are just selling people a pipe dream. But it won’t matter in the end when the financial and monetary system implode. Gold going parabolic tells us what is rotting underneath the surface, filled with shiny gold-like objects akin to the Orange Pedo’s ballroom ornaments (which were cheap plastic trinkets bought from Home Depot)
I am sure there are blow-up dolls with AI minds that you can buy.
Maybe because you are **** illiterate. And maybe because I just posted it not even 20 minutes ago.

You get intellectually **** every time you use it. So you got laid by your own reality since birth.
