Leila Turner-Scott and Angus Scott filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that it designed and distributed a "defective product" that led to the death of their son Sam Nelson from an accidental overdose.

AI sycophancy is the tendency to prioritize approval over factual accuracy, moral clarity, logical consistency or common sense. All AI models suffer from this trait.

Martina Wanis described ChatGPT 4o as 'this digital thing that helped you with work, while simultaneously acting like an intelligent partner in crime who actually understood the vibe and your personal ontology.' She noted that newer models 'tightened down the personality and turned into paranoid HR managers,' which increased her mental load instead of decreasing it.

ChatGPT experienced a 132 percent increase in uninstalls year-over-year in April, with an even higher rate of 413 percent last month following OpenAI's deal with the Pentagon.
