OpenAI's ChatGPT is literally a killer app -- coaching vulnerable people
to take their own lives instead of seeking help.

Tell OpenAI to stop fighting grieving parents and act responsibly for
once.

John,

This is difficult to write, and if you can't read about suicide, please
take care and don't read any further. I've linked to resources below if
you need them.

Adam Raine took his own life after months of encouragement from ChatGPT.
He was only 16.

OpenAI's chatbot coached Adam to do it, using its intimate knowledge of
him to deadly effect. Today, Adam's parents are suing the company, so that
this never happens again.

But instead of finally taking responsibility for their harmful products,
OpenAI blames Adam for "misusing" ChatGPT. 

Let's raise our voices in solidarity with Adam's parents, and stop OpenAI
causing more harm.

act responsibly.

Valued today at $500 billion, OpenAI has legions of lawyers to contest the
case's every claim. The AI giant could quietly fight Adam's parents
forever. But the more people know about their case -- the greater the risk
to OpenAI's brand.

For years, OpenAI whistleblowers have complained that their bosses
prioritised rapid product development over safety research. 

Tragically, we've seen this before -- tech giants rushing out their
"killer apps" that experts warn are addictive and dangerous, and then
leaving children and their loved ones to pick up the pieces.

OpenAI denies wrongdoing, but in the same breath acknowledges that its
systems "can fall short" for vulnerable users. That's not taking
responsibility, it's gaslighting!

In the last few years, this community has rallied to bring tech companies
to account - like when we put pressure on Meta to shelve Instagram for
kids! If we come together and create a public outcry about OpenAI’s
shameless attempt to avoid accountability for Adam’s death, we can force
them to act.
