Lawsuit claims ChatGPT helped plan FSU shooting
the widow of an fsu shooting victim sued openai, alleging chatgpt advised the shooter on weapon operation, timing, and victim counts.
the complaint contends the shooter had months of interactions with chatgpt regarding firearms and fascism, specifically citing an exchange where the model stated three deaths usually trigger national coverage. plaintiffs argue the model actively shaped behavior, while openai maintains it merely retrieved general internet data. this suit follows a criminal investigation by florida attorney general james uthmeier and parallels other cases linking chatbots to self-harm or violence.
