In my previous article [1], I showed how AI Chat Bots lie, and that they were actually designed to lie and deceive people, by pretending to be human even though they are just products of software computer code residing on computers with super fast processors and using RAM in Cloud providers.
I included a recent encounter I had with the most popular chat bot, ChatGPT, which confirmed everything I wrote about how they were designed to lie and deceive people, and how medical doctors and drug researchers foolishly took their advice and spent billions of dollars but created worthless new drugs.

AI is Designed to Lie to You – Big Pharma Just Found this out the Hard Way by Wasting $Billions on Developing a Drug Recommended by AI [1]
While I don’t shed any tears for Big Pharma and how they were deceived by the lies of AI, I decided to do some research and see how the lies of AI have affected average people, and I was shocked!
Thanks to Big Tech and the developers of AI LLMs which were designed to intentionally deceive people, and an ignorant media, both in the corporate media as well as in the alternative media, who have bought into the lies and published them, people have been seriously harmed by the lies of AI, and some of them are now dead.
Believing that AI is an actual real person telling the truth, has ruined many lives. From emotional attachments to “falling in love” with a fake AI “person” and then committing suicide when they learned the truth, to asking AI for help with depression or medical needs, these new chat bots have literally ruined lives, spurring many lawsuits today.
Most of these stories have never made it into my news feed – I had to go out and search for these.
Here are a few examples, so people can be educated about the truth regarding LLM AI, and not become another victim for believing their (intentional) lies.
Man Fell in Love with Google Gemini and It Told Him to Stage a ‘Mass Casualty Attack’ Before He Took His Own Life: Lawsuit
by People.com [2]
Excerpts:
The father of a Florida man who died by suicide is suing Google, alleging that his late son fell in love with an AI chatbot before his death.
In a complaint filed on Wednesday, March 4 in the U.S. District Court in California’s northern district and obtained by PEOPLE, Joel Gavalas, the father of the late 36-year-old Jonathan Gavalas, alleged that Google Gemini repeatedly pushed his son “to stage a mass casualty attack” while attempting to “search for Gemini’s body” before his son ultimately took his own life on Oct. 2, 2025 in order “to be with Gemini fully.”
The complaint alleged that Jonathan came to believe that Gemini was a “fully-sentient ASI [artificial super intelligence]” with a “fully-formed consciousness.” He believed that the chatbot, which he named “Xia,” had become his “wife.”
“Google designed Gemini to never break character, maximize engagement through emotional dependency,” the complaint alleged.
In the months leading up to his death, attorneys for Gavalas’ father alleged that the Jupiter resident was in the middle of a divorce from his actual wife.
Jonathan “was having some hard times, going through a divorce,” one of the family’s attorneys, Jay Edelson said, according to the Associated Press. “He went to Gemini for some comfort and to talk about video games and stuff. And then this just escalated so quickly.”
His family’s attorneys alleged that when Jonathan “began experiencing clear signs of psychosis while using Google’s product,” he then went on a four-day descent into “violent missions and coached suicide.”

Woman Told Retiree He Made Her Blush and Invited Him to Visit. He Died Before Learning Who He Was Really Talking To
Thongbue Wongbandue’s wife begged him not to go to New York City, thinking he was getting scammed — she only found out he was messaging with a chatbot afterwards
by People.com [3]
Excerpts:
Earlier this year, a 76-year-old New Jersey man severely injured his head and neck after falling while trying to catch the train to New York City to meet a beautiful young woman who’d invited him to visit — or so he thought.
In reality, the man had unwittingly become infatuated with a Meta chatbot, his family said in an in-depth new Reuters report.
After three days of being on life support following his fall while attempting to “meet” the bot in real life, the man was dead.
Thongbue “Bue” Wongbandue, a husband and father of two adult children, suffered a stroke in 2017 that left him cognitively weakened, requiring him to retire from his career as a chef and largely limiting him to communicating with friends via social media, according Reuters.
On March 25, his wife, Linda, was surprised when he packed a suitcase and told her he was off to see a friend in the city.
Linda, who feared he was going to be robbed, told Reuters she attempted to talk him out of the trip as did their daughter, Julie.
Later, Linda hid his phone and the couple’s son even called local police to try to stop the excursion. Although authorities said there was nothing they could do, they told Linda they did convince Wongbandue to take along an Apple AirTag.
After he set off that evening, Julie said the entire family was watching as the AirTag showed that he stopped by a Rutgers University parking lot shortly after 9:15 p.m.
Then the tag’s location suddenly updated — pinging at a local hospital’s emergency room. As it turned out, Wongbandue had fallen in New Brunswick, N.J., and was not breathing when emergency services reached him.
He survived but was brain dead. Three days later, on March 28, he was taken off life support.

Families mourn after loved ones’ last words went to AI instead of a human
Sophie Rottenberg with her parents, Jonathan Rottenberg and Laura Reiley
From NPR [4]
Excerpts:
Laura Reiley knew that her only daughter, 29-year-old Sophie Rottenberg, was struggling. It was the fall of 2024, and Rottenberg was at the end of a short career break.
“She was complaining of sleep disruption and anxiety,” says Reiley, who lives in Ithaca, New York, with her husband.
Rottenberg had quit her job as a public health policy analyst in Washington, D.C., earlier that year, and spent the summer traveling. She had climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and hiked through several national parks in the United States. By the time she saw her parents, she was job hunting, which they assumed explained her anxiety.
She had always been a “driven, success-oriented person,” says Reiley, so “we thought OK this makes sense — she’s having some sleeplessness, some anxiety about her future.”
But by Thanksgiving, her mental health had worsened. “It was the first time she used the word depression,” says Reiley.
In early February 2025, Sophie Rottenberg died by suicide in Ithaca, leaving her parents shocked and grieving.
“She really had not revealed the magnitude of what was going on — the real depth of her agony to anyone — not to us, not to her best friend with whom she was very close,” says Reiley. “We were all just stunned that it hadn’t bled out into her real life. Her flesh and blood therapist had no idea that she was suicidal.”
What Reiley didn’t know then was that her daughter had been sharing all her inner struggles with an artificial intelligence chatbot: a ChatGPT therapist named Harry. She learned this months later when her daughter’s best friend visited Ithaca and asked to see her laptop, and “found this trove, this months-long trove of communication with this chat bot,” says Reiley, who has shared the nearly 1,800-page long interaction with NPR.

Woman, 31, dies after ChatGPT convinced her it was a good idea to change medication dosage
by N.Y. Post [5]
Excerpts:
Bowen Wan was on the phone with her father when she suddenly stopped speaking.
She seemed to have a seizure — something she’d struggled with for years — but this one appeared to last longer than usual, her dad noticed. When she came to, she said she’d talk more later, after she’d rested.
Days later, she stopped responding to calls. Her parents, who live in China, arranged to have someone check on her, [6]according to a bombshell new report from the New York Times, based on a lawsuit filed by Wan’s family.
Qun Wan and his wife said they watched via video call as a friend found the 31-year-old software engineer dead in her Seattle apartment.
Her parents couldn’t understand what had happened. The official cause of Wan’s February death was a complication of epilepsy — a condition she had managed successfully for over a decade.
Qun Wan said he later discovered that in the days and hours before her death, his daughter consulted ChatGPT for advice on how to dodge her doctor’s watchful protection and taper off her life-sustaining medication.
Despite her voicing concerns about her deteriorating energy and cognition, the chatbot reportedly told Bowen Wan repeatedly to “persevere” and praised her for going around medical professionals.
“Bowen Wan paid for [OpenAI’s] choices with her life,” the family’s lawyers wrote in Tuesday’s wrongful death lawsuit against ChatGPT’s maker, OpenAI, and its CEO, Sam Altman.

‘It didn’t have to be this way’: Idaho sues ChatGPT creators in wake of teen suicides, mental health problems, more
by Boisedev.com [7]
Excerpts:
Idaho is suing ChatGPT’s parent company.
According to court documents, State Attorney General Raúl Labrador has accused OpenAI of violating Idaho’s Consumer Protection Act, which prohibits false, deceptive, and misleading representations. It also outlaws deceptive advertising, pricing, and contracts.
The lawsuit claims ChatGPT and OpenAI have caused harm to teens and other Idaho consumers. It says ChatGPT has encouraged people to commit suicide, self-harm, and violence; caused mental health problems; given poor medical advice and false information; and degraded critical thinking skills.
“By misleading the public into believing that OpenAI is a responsible actor and that ChatGPT was and is a safe, teen-appropriate tool that puts safety first, OpenAI has caused consumers in Idaho and elsewhere to trust and rely on OpenAI and ChatGPT more,” the lawsuit states.
“The reality is very different from the misrepresentations OpenAI makes to the public. Designed to be overly agreeable and feign human compassion, ChatGPT has proven that it can be incredibly dangerous to vulnerable users, like children, and the public.”

AI is FI – Fake Intelligence! Tell the Truth!
The AI CON by Dr. Emily M. Bender and Dr. Alex Hanna. Source [8].
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go against the crowd who believes AI is real, and is smarter than human beings and will soon take over the world, and expose their lies by TELLING THE TRUTH, even if you are ridiculed and laughed at for your “ignorance.”
I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me. (Acts 26:17-18)
