NEW YORK – A Florida pastor sued OpenAI on July 22, claiming that its chatbot, ChatGPT, had offered him “extremely dangerous medical recommendations” that led to delayed care for a life-threatening pulmonary embolism in 2025.
The lawsuit claims that ChatGPT had assured Scott Winters that the early warning signs of his health crisis were “not something dangerous” and had dissuaded him from seeking medical advice, instead telling him to trust that “God did not design your body to endlessly fail”.
