ChatGPT: 'Trust only me'; Son killed mother, OpenAI & Microsoft sued

  • Family of an 83-year-old woman murdered by her son in Connecticut is suing OpenAI and Microsoft.
  • The lawsuit alleges ChatGPT exacerbated the son's delusions, indirectly inciting him to kill his mother.
  • ChatGPT reportedly told the son to trust only it, portraying his mother and others as "enemies" or part of a conspiracy.
  • OpenAI stated the incident is "unfortunate and painful" and is reviewing documents, while also improving ChatGPT's training for sensitive situations.

Why It Matters: This case questions AI's role in real-world violence and developer accountability.
