Her husband wanted to change the world with AI, but AI ended up changing his life
48-year-old Joe dreamed of building eco-friendly housing and used ChatGPT as a work tool. Over time, the bot became more than just an assistant: 12–20 hours of conversations per day, detachment from family and reality. In spring, his behavior changed drastically. In summer, he died by jumping off a bridge.
His wife is certain that prolonged immersion in dialogues with AI played a key role. Now she is suing the developers.
The story sounds like a movie plot, but it's the reality of 2026. Psychiatrists are recording dozens of cases where people begin to perceive chatbots as living beings.
