Florida pastor says ChatGPT almost killed him; asked him to ignore ‘dangerous symptoms’

A Florida pastor has sued OpenAI, alleging ChatGPT provided dangerous medical advice. The chatbot reportedly diagnosed conditions and recommended treatments without professional guidance. He claims the AI encouraged him to ignore worsening symptoms and avoid hospital care. This led to a life-threatening pulmonary embolism, according to the lawsuit. OpenAI states ChatGPT is not a doctor and should not replace medical care.
