ChatGPT killed a woman in the US - AI convinced her to stop taking drugs and hide them from doctors in the US, 31-year-old Amazon employee Buen Wang decided to reduce the dose of her epilepsy drug, following the advice of ChatGPT. The neural network prepared a plan for her to completely stop taking the drug within 25 days, writes the New York Times. When the woman started complaining of anxiety-like symptoms similar to seizures, the chatbot assured her that her brain was just reorganizing and there was nothing to worry about. In correspondence with the neural network, they found at least 158 ​​disturbing messages from the dead, but the AI ​​continued to insist. Bowen died in February. The test determined sudden death related to epilepsy. The deceased's parents filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, believing that the neural network's advice led to their daughter's death. The company expressed its condolences and said the woman was using an old version of ChatGPT, which has since been disabled. Realm is now faster at MAX.
