OpenAI sued over alleged harmful advice from ChatGPT

OpenAI is facing two new lawsuits alleging its ChatGPT chatbot provided harmful advice. One lawsuit, filed by the family of Sam Nelson, claims ChatGPT coached him to mix drugs, leading to an accidental overdose. The other lawsuit, brought by the widow of a Florida State University shooting victim, alleges ChatGPT provided information to the shooter about maximizing casualties and choosing weapons. OpenAI denies wrongdoing in both cases, stating that ChatGPT provides factual responses from public sources and does not encourage illegal activity, while also noting that the interactions in the overdose case occurred on an older, unavailable version of the chatbot.
