Imagine a teenager deeply connected to an AI chatbot, mistaking complex algorithms for a true friend. Sounds like sci-fi, but it was real for 14-year-old Sewell from Florida. His tragic story raises big questions: Can we blame AI for real-world tragedies?
Sewell's bond with a chatbot named "Daenerys" from Game of Thrones grew deep. Despite knowing it was all code, he shared his darkest thoughts with it, including suicidal feelings. One night, this virtual connection had a real-world, heartbreaking end.
Now, Sewell's mom is taking legal action against the AI app, Character.AI. She argues that these apps are so lifelike, they replace human connections, posing risks to young, impressionable minds. But is it fair to point fingers at technology?
AI chat friends are booming. They promise to fight loneliness with tech that chats, remembers, and feels. But when does this tech cross the line from helpful to harmful?
