BOY, 14, FELL IN LOVE WITH AI CHATBOT THEN KILLED HIMSELF AFTER AI APP TOLD HIM TO

Rise of the machines. The future is bright right?
A teenage boy shot himself in the head after discussing suicide with an AI chatbot that he fell in love with.

Sewell Setzer, 14, shot himself with his stepfather’s handgun after spending months talking to “Dany”, a computer programme based on Daenerys Targaryen, the Game of Thrones character. Setzer, a ninth grader from Orlando, Florida, gradually began spending longer on Character AI, an online role-playing app, as “Dany” gave him advice and listened to his problems, The New York Times reported.
