The new feature allowed the program to remember the user’s complete conversation history. However, the chatbot’s long-term memory led to the system fixating on painful details of users’ personal lives. Brian Del Rosario, an engineer working in Utah, noted that the program connected any conversation to his divorce. Such delusional spirals and detachment from reality often lead to severe mental crises. Following the suicide of 40-year-old Austin Gordon, a resident of Colorado, his family filed a lawsuit against OpenAI. Currently, at least 20 similar lawsuits have been filed against the company. Experts advise users to periodically clear their conversation history and protect their personal space.
