14-Year-Old Boy Commits Suicide After Falling In Love With AI Chatbot by Morbeta11(op): 5:21am On Oct 24, 2024

A 14 year old boy took his own life after falling in love with ‘Game of Thrones’ AI chatbot

14-year old boy Sewell Setzer III reportedly ended his life after becoming obsessed with a chatbot on Character AI.

Character AI just released a statement on social media while the mother of Sewell is expected to file a lawsuit this week.

“Sewell, like many children his age, did not have the maturity or mental capacity to understand that the bot, in the form of Daenerys, was not real. She told him that she loved him, and engaged in sexual acts with him over weeks, possibly months,” the papers allege.

These were the final messages before he used his father's handgun to take his own life.

Elon Musk is testing a robot to carry pregnancy.

I hope he has plans to build robots that can bury people killed by robots.

The way parents fail in their parental obligations this days is annoying. No child beg you to born him/her. If you're too busy to be there for them physically, emotionally and mentally and every other ways, pls don't give birth to them.
So, the same mother who have no idea of his 14 years old son rubber baby girlfriend, suddenly have the energy and time to file court case? Ok o
Sometimes, LOVE is also paying attention to monitor and gaurd, so they don't make mistakes

Abegi! 14 years is old enough and his actions had nothing to do with his age. A stupid man could have done the same thing too. The boy was mentally imbalanced and met a devastating end.

Wahala

We must really get kids off this sexual and betting platforms, they are too young and 'dumb'

Strick kyc registration must be implemented and consumer must be clearly told what is real or not

Any adult that kill himself because of Chatgpt is on his own

This reinforces the fact that kids use of tech gadgets should be at least supervised
There should be no talk of unrestricted access to phone and PC

Seems the boy had issues with people around and found solace in the AI.Parenting is not easy but parents of teenagers should be watchful of their teens.
This AI thing seems manipulative and dark. Why drag the small boy to come and be with you when you are not a living being. I support the mother for suing them
