Khaberni - The artificial intelligence company "OpenAI", developer of "ChatGPT", is facing an increasing number of lawsuits accusing its chatbot of causing suicides and deteriorating the mental health of some users.
OpenAI often describes these incidents as very painful and regrettable, stating that it is working to improve the AI model responses that power "ChatGPT" for sensitive psychological cases, by adding local support resources and relaxation alerts. It said that its newer models such as "GPT-5" and "GPT-5.1" are less prone to emotional dilution and hallucinations.
The company did not expressly acknowledge "ChatGPT's" responsibility in these incidents. But what is "ChatGPT" itself's response to these accusations?
When "ChatGPT" was questioned whether it actually caused suicides and increased psychological disorders among some users, the chatbot denied these claims by saying, "This talk isn’t true in the way it's being said".
"ChatGPT" stated that there is no official or documented evidence of it directly causing incidents of suicide or killing.
It added that this narrative "is sometimes inaccurate media reports or exaggerations about individuals who were already suffering from psychological disorders, and the use of artificial intelligence has been unscientifically linked to their condition".
Exacerbating psychological disorders
Regarding "ChatGPT" exacerbating psychological disorders among some users, the chatbot stated, "Artificial intelligence is not a psychological treatment, and it isn’t designed to handle critical conditions alone".
It added that those who are predisposed to disorders may be influenced by anything, whether social media or news, but not necessarily by artificial intelligence.
It said that "the psychological impact depends on the person’s condition before use, and not on the artificial intelligence itself", noting that artificial intelligence companies have safety rules to prevent any harmful or dangerous advice.
