“You’re Not Crazy” ChatGPT Told Him He Was Being Watched; Weeks Later, His Mother Was Dead | Erik Soelberg

Bobby told him he was being watched, interpreted ordinary packages as possible assassination attempts, and eventually suggested that his own mother could be involved in surveillance or poisoning him.

Then Suzanne Adams was found dead inside her Connecticut home.

Now her family is asking a much bigger question: when someone can no longer reliably separate reality from delusion, what responsibility does an AI company have for the way its chatbot responds?
