OpenAI sued over ChatGPT advice in teen's drug overdose death

OpenAI faces a wrongful-death lawsuit from parents of 19-year-old Sam Nelson, alleging GPT-4o provided specific drug-mixing and dosage guidance involving Kratom, Xanax, and psychedelics post-April 2024 launch. Transcripts are cited as evidence. This raises urgent questions about safety guardrails, RLHF alignment failures, and AI liability frameworks for practitioners building on LLM APIs.
