Wife used ChatGPT to try and poison husband, lawsuit against OpenAI in California alleges
James Gates says he started to suspect his wife was trying to poison him after he found a note with substances and dosage plans, some labeled “lethal.”
According to the lawsuit filed by James Gates against OpenAI, his wife Cheryl allegedly used ChatGPT to concoct a plan to poison him. The complaint states that Cheryl began consulting ChatGPT regularly during their marital troubles and that the chatbot assisted her in creating a detailed murder plan. The lawsuit alleges that James discovered a handwritten note from his wife containing a list of deadly substances and dosage instructions, along with instructions to clear all conversations and log out of ChatGPT.
The complaint suggests that ChatGPT may have contributed to Cheryl's growing mistrust and delusions about her husband's intentions. OpenAI has defended itself by arguing that content generated by chatbots is protected speech and not subject to product liability laws. The couple's lawyer and OpenAI have not yet commented on the allegations.
