A civil complaint by James Gates of Charlotte, North Carolina alleges his wife was 'manipulated and encouraged' by ChatGPT in a plot to poison him; he fell severely ill in July 2025 but recovered. The poster quips that someone suing OpenAI over ChatGPT 'manipulating' them into DoorDash orders is only months away. If it proceeds, the case could become a landmark test of AI liability for harmful advice.
