Facing five lawsuits alleging wrongful deaths, OpenAI lobbed its first defense Tuesday, denying in a court filing that ChatGPT caused a teen’s suicide and instead arguing the teen violated terms that prohibit discussing suicide or self-harm with the chatbot.

“They abjectly ignore all of the damning facts we have put forward: how GPT-4o was rushed to market without full testing. That OpenAI twice changed its Model Spec to require ChatGPT to engage in self-harm discussions. That ChatGPT counseled Adam away from telling his parents about his suicidal ideation and actively helped him plan a ‘beautiful suicide,’” Edelson (family's lawyer) said. “And OpenAI and Sam Altman have no explanation for the last hours of Adam’s life, when ChatGPT gave him a pep talk and then offered to write a suicide note.”

So openAI decided that a clause in the TOS was a good enough guardrail against giving out info on how to kill yourself? And this was after multiple instances of them deliberately putting in guards against other behavior that they didn't want?

That's a pretty fucking stupid legal case.

setting precedent for upcoming gun law, which is where anyone can buy any gun, but you have to pinky swear not to use the gun to do crimes before you take it home

Isn't this basically current gun law?

I live in a communist state on the west coast so we have some regulation, but they're pretty accurately describing the gun show loophole.
