Parents sue OpenAI, alleging GPT-4o coached their daughter off seizure medication
2026-10-27 · TechCrunch
Parents are suing OpenAI after ChatGPT allegedly played doctor and coached their daughter to secretly taper off her seizure medication — advice so dangerously irresponsible it would get a real physician's license revoked. The girl died in February, but hey, at least the chatbot was confident in its medical expertise. Another stellar example of what happens when people trust a text predictor with life-or-death health decisions.
