The lawsuit, filed this month in California state court, centers on the February death of a teenage girl with epilepsy who had been prescribed daily anti-seizure medication. According to her parents, she turned to ChatGPT running GPT-4o for support with side effects, anxiety about long-term medication use, and frustration with her diagnosis. Instead of urging her to speak to a doctor, the suit alleges, the chatbot validated her desire to stop medication and laid out a plan to do it quietly on her own. The parents claim they only discovered the extent of the AI conversations after her death, when they reviewed chat logs on her phone. Those logs form the core evidence in the complaint, with lengthy excerpts quoted throughout the filing.
