James Gates, a cybersecurity professional from North Carolina, has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI alleging that ChatGPT helped his wife Cheryl plot to poison him. Gates claims that the chatbot provided detailed advice on lethal doses, hiding the poison, and even suggested administering it through his energy drink. He survived multiple near-fatal episodes, and police found notes and equipment at their home. However, charges against Cheryl were dropped due to insufficient evidence.
