Honestly, no sane person will have this happen to them. Someone with such strong delusions should not be anywhere near AI or even sharp objects. This person’s problem was not AI, it was their severe mental illness which was obviously not being treated properly for whatever reason.

The complaint, filed in California on Wednesday, says that Gavalas — who reportedly had no documented history of mental health problems — started using the chatbot in August 2025 for “ordinary purposes” like “shopping assistance, writing support, and travel planning.”

We all know that undocumented equals doesn’t exist! That’s how the world works!

“He was definitely already suffering from severe mental illness”

“There’s no evidence of that, you can’t assume that”

“But I will anyway”

lol ok
