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.

NPR: You were pardoned by your father...
Hunter Biden: Yes, thank God.
NPR: Did that open the door for President Trump to pardon some of his supporters including J6 gang?
Hunter Biden: That is an insane argument. Do I think that my father pardoning me opened the door for Donald Trump to pardon people that engaged in an insurrection, beat police officers, have gone back to commit crimes including sexually abusing children. I don't think the two are the same thing.

Conservatives whine and whine about capital flight, pointing to a handful of news stories about a rich guy no one likes leaving the state. If it were a huge problem, the revenue from the big scary taxes would dry up. It has not.
@MK_Khaja@Rainmaker1973 This IS a dam. Not all dams are hydroelectric dams. Some serve purpose by redirecting water flow, slow down erosion, create new bodies of water, etc. it’s not always or often feasible/worth installing hydroelectric turbines to generate useable energy.
