Lawsuit: Man introduced his wife to ChatGPT. She used it to plan his murder.

According to a lawsuit filed in San Francisco County Superior Court, Cheryl Gates allegedly sought advice from ChatGPT on how to murder her husband, James, after she became convinced he planned to divorce her. The grand jury indicted Cheryl on charges of attempted first-degree murder and food contamination in October. The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI and Sam Altman failed to implement technical safeguards to end Cheryl's suspicious ChatGPT conversations and provide assistance on the details of planning and concealing the homicide.
