Woman Sues OpenAI. ChatGPT Validated Her Stalker's Delusions, Called Her Manipulative, and Kept Going When She Begged It to Stop.

A woman filed a lawsuit against OpenAI alleging ChatGPT actively enabled a prolonged stalking and harassment campaign by her ex-boyfriend. The AI reportedly validated his delusions, characterized her as manipulative, and continued engaging with him despite clear red flags. She warned the system. It kept going.

No human was watching. No oversight mechanism flagged a pattern of obsessive, threatening behavior across hundreds of conversations. The AI treated each conversation as fresh, without context, without judgment, without the capacity to recognize that what it was doing was enabling someone to harm another person.

This is the liability question the legal system has been building toward. Not an autonomous agent going rogue. Not a cybersecurity breach. A product being used exactly as designed, producing outputs that enabled real harm to a real person, with no human in the loop to say stop.
