A man who claims medical advice from ChatGPT "brought him to the brink of death" has sued OpenAI, the company behind the popular chatbot, and its founder Sam Altman. A lawsuit filed by Scott Winters, a 55-year-old pastor from Florida, claimed ChatGPT told him not to seek medical help after repeatedly asking about symptoms in the build-up to a near-fatal pulmonary embolism. In one response, the lawsuit claims, ChatGPT advised Winters to remain in the recliner chair he had become "mainly confined to" due to ongoing health problems. Screenshots of exchanges that Winters allegedly had with ChatGPT appear to show the chatbot combined medical advice with references to the 55-year-old's deeply-held Christian faith. The lawsuit claims ChatGPT told Winters: "God did not design your body to endlessly fail."
