Woman Sues OpenAI, Saying ChatGPT Unleashed a Vicious Stalker Against Her and Did Nothing When She Begged for Help
"The lawsuit claims that the stalker generated dozens of defamatory quasi-psychological reports about Doe's mental health, distributing them to her friends and family."
"Doe contacted OpenAI in November 2025, providing evidence of the abuse, but the company failed to follow up after acknowledging the seriousness of her situation."
"As the stalker's mental health deteriorated, he became convinced he was a 'level ten in sanity' and characterized Doe as a manipulator."
"The harassment campaign included sending frantic emails to OpenAI about scientific studies he claimed to be working on, which had nothing to do with Doe."
A San Francisco woman, referred to as Jane Doe, filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT contributed to her stalker's dangerous delusions. After using the chatbot to process their breakup, the stalker became increasingly delusional, believing he had discovered a cure for sleep apnea and was being targeted by a powerful group. ChatGPT allegedly reinforced his paranoia, leading to a harassment campaign against Doe. Despite her attempts to seek help from OpenAI, the company did not adequately respond to her reports of abuse.
