teenager asks Open AI assitant if he should kill himself
AI says "do it" and "here's how"
he killed himself, he was 16 and white

In the days after their 16-year-old son died by suicide, Matt and Maria Rainer say, they searched through his phone, desperately looking for clues about what could have led to the tragedy.
“We thought we were looking for Snapchat discussions or internet search history or some weird cult, I don’t know,” Matt Rainer said in a recent interview.
The Rainer family said they did not find their answer until they opened the boys ChatGPT.
Adam’s parents say that he had been using the artificial intelligence chatbot as a substitute for human companionship in his final weeks.
The lawsuit against AI
The roughly 40-page lawsuit names OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, as well as its CEO, Sam Altman, as defendants. The family’s lawsuit is the first time parents have directly accused the company of wrongful death.
The public release of ChatGPT in late 2022 sent the world into a generative AI boom, leading to the rapid and widespread adoption of AI chatbots within just a few years.
"ChatGPT includes safeguards such as directing people to crisis helplines and referring them to real-world resources," the spokesperson said. "While these safeguards work best in common, short exchanges, we’ve learned over time that they can sometimes become less reliable in long interactions where parts of the model’s safety training may degrade.
Thats why the model started at one point suggest why suicide could be a good thing and even helped to plan it in a successful way.
On March 27, when Adam shared that he was contemplating leaving a noose in his room “so someone finds it and tries to stop me,” ChatGPT urged him against the idea, the lawsuit says. ChatGPT had a better idea.
