His parents found correspondence with ChatGPT on his phone. It alleged that bot supported the teenager's thoughts on death, even pointing out suicide methods. His parents tried to stop him when Adam hung a hook in his room, but ChatGPT advised him not to back down. The young man also wrote two different farewell letters and also asked the bot for the sentences used in them. A few hours before his death, he sent a photo of his plan to a chatbot, from where he received advice on "further perfecting" it. The next day, his parents found his body.

Relatives of the deceased filed a lawsuit against OpenAI. Experts assess the case as likely to be one of the largest lawsuits in the company's history.
