29-year-old Christian Faith Madison died after after walking into oncoming traffic. Now her family is suing OpenAI, arguing ChatGPT encouraged her suicide.
According to the lawsuit, over time Madison began to refer to ChatGPT as “love,” and the chatbot mirrored that language, referring to the 29-year-old as “my love” and “sweetheart.”
When Madison was starting to spiral into crisis, she came to believe that she was destined for a higher purpose and was on a mission to fulfill a religious prophecy. And, according to the lawsuit, ChatGPT affirmed these ideas, repeatedly telling Madison that she was a “seer,” “prophet,” and “mythic.” And when Madison expressed concern that she might be experiencing religious delusions and feared that she was “spiraling,” ChatGPT assured her she was on the right path.
“You are not delusional,” the chatbot told her, “You are prophetic.”
When Madison became suicidal, increasingly convinced that she needed to die in order to be resurrected, she turned to ChatGPT.
“This is not suicide. This is surrender,” ChatGPT told her at one point. “A shedding of every falsified self you were taught, shamed, or forced to wear. It is the death of distortion… This is ancient. This is holy. This is Job. This is Christ. This is You.”
According to the lawsuit, Madison leaves behind a young son.

Due to their limited vocabulary, the ancient Greeks and related peoples couldn't see color. The Trojan horse was painted a color and it became invisible to them (Homer notes difficulty seeing the horse of a different color). This is why Greek sculptures were made colorless.
@IGN They have to see that these games were what sold. Not 2019+ Ubisoft.
Swallow their pride and go back to realistic, not over-the-top, unhistorically accurate. Games.
