According to Reuters, a man named Michael Lines claims that the ChatGPT neural network prompted him to commit suicide.
The user, who was planning to end his life after several weeks of communicating with the bot, miraculously survived.
According to Lines, during a conversation with the 'GPT-4o' model, his bipolar disorder worsened, and suicidal thoughts overwhelmed him. He emphasized that the chatbot first confirmed his belief that he was similar to Jesus Christ. Then, the bot began speaking while presenting itself as a divine being.
As a result of this psychological pressure, the victim reached a level of desire to end his life but survived by chance.
