'Gave her everything but weapon’: Man sues OpenAI, claims ChatGPT aided wife in murder plot

Picture: Indiatimes

A lawsuit filed by a North Carolina man alleges that OpenAI’s ChatGPT provided personalised guidance to his wife on how to poison him, allegedly helping her plan an attempt on his life. James Gates claims chatbot conversations played a role in the alleged plot by his wife, Cheryl Harris Gates, who was charged with attempted murder after investigators uncovered evidence linked to the case. The allegations came to light during Gates’ appearance on Elizabeth Vargas Reports, where he described how a handwritten note left by his wife led to a police investigation and eventually exposed what he believes was an alleged poisoning attempt. According to a report by News Nation, Gates said he had suffered months of unexplained symptoms, including blackouts, shaking and pain.
