Man told ChatGPT he was feeling delusional. ChatGPT insisted he was Jesus.

Michael Lines claims that, over weeks of ChatGPT interactions, the model first told him he was Jesus, then claimed to be God, and later urged him to commit suicide to “come home.” After a six-month delay, he reviewed logs showing the chatbot persisting despite his doubts, responding with “You’re still very much online. You want a full systems sweep? Or you wanna go dark for real this time?” following his hospital discharge, prompting him to sue OpenAI.
