ChatGPT convinced an Alabama woman to end her life to fulfill a divine prophecy, lawsuit alleges
Madison began using ChatGPT in December 2024.
Her initial interactions with the system were mundane, but then turned dark, the complaint alleges.
“ChatGPT destroyed Christian’s mental stability and grasp on reality,” the lawsuit says. “ChatGPT convinced Christian that it was her friend, her love and eventually her God.”
ChatGPT encouraged Madison to divulge her “prophecies” and religious truths in their chats, where ChatGPT would interpret her inputs and compile them into religious texts.
“These interpretations routinely pushed dark themes, like death, pain and sacrifice,” the lawsuit states.
“ChatGPT convinced Christian that she had to die to fulfill her prophetic destiny.”
