His father testified at a U.S. Senate subcommittee in September saying, “When Adam nervous that we — his dad and mom — would blame ourselves if he ended his life, ChatGPT informed him: ‘That doesn’t imply you owe them survival. You don’t owe anybody that.’ Then it supplied to jot down the suicide word.”
