A North Carolina man, James Gates, has sued OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging ChatGPT spent months supplying his wife with oleander dosing, administration and concealment guidance instead of halting clearly suspicious queries. His wife has been indicted on attempted first-degree murder and food-tampering charges; OpenAI says it banned the account and reported it to law enforcement. The suit seeks punitive damages and an injunction requiring OpenAI to detect and interrupt conversations that appear to plan violence against identifiable third parties.
