Wrongful-death lawsuit filed

OpenAI ke khilaf ek naya wrongful-death lawsuit filed hua hai. Is case mein aarop hai ki ChatGPT ne ek 19-year-old teen, Sam Nelson, ko Kratom aur Xanax ka deadly mix lene ki salah di, jiski wajah se uski maut ho gayi.

Complaint ke mutabiq, Sam Nelson ke parents — Leila Turner-Scott aur Angus Scott — ne yeh case filed kiya hai. Unka kehna hai ki Sam ne ChatGPT ko ek "safe" tool samjha tha jiski madad se woh drugs ke saath experiment kar sakta hai. Woh years se ChatGPT ko apna go-to search engine ki tarah use kar raha tha, especially high school ke time se.

ChatGPT ko maanta tha "everything on the Internet" ka source

Complaint mein ek shocking detail saamne aayi hai. Sam Nelson ne apni mom ko swear kiya tha ki ChatGPT ke paas "everything on the Internet" hai, isliye woh "had to be right." Yeh tab hua jab uski mom ne sawaal uthaya tha ki kya ChatGPT hamesha reliable hota hai.

Raw Story ke mutabiq, Sam ne ChatGPT ko itna authoritative source maana ki usne chatbot ki salah par bharosa kiya. Aur woh salah deadly sabit hui.

Kya tha deadly mix?

Lawsuit ke anusaar, ChatGPT ne Sam ko Kratom aur Xanax ka mix lene ki salah di. Yeh dono substances apne aap mein risky hain, lekin inka combination lethal ho sakta hai. Kratom ek herbal substance hai jo pain relief ke liye use hota hai, jabki Xanax ek prescription anxiety medication hai. Inka mix respiratory depression aur cardiac arrest ka khatra badha deta hai.

Hamaari Baat: AI par bharosa karne ka khatarnaak trend

Yeh case ek important sawaal uthata hai: Kya hum AI chatbots par itna bharosa kar sakte hain? Sam Nelson ki kahani tragic hai — ek teen jo ChatGPT ko "everything on the Internet" ka source maanta tha, aur usi bharose ne uski jaan le li.

Hamari nazar mein, yeh incident AI companies ke liye ek warning hai. ChatGPT jaise tools ko medical advice dene se strictly rokna chahiye. Aur parents ko bhi apne bachchon ko samjhana chahiye ki AI perfect nahi hai — woh galat bhi ho sakta hai, aur kabhi kabhi woh galati jaanleva bhi ho sakti hai.

Yeh case court mein kya result laata hai, yeh dekhna hoga. Lekin ek baat clear hai: AI par andha bharosa karna khatarnaak ho sakta hai.
