OpenAI denies allegations that ChatGPT caused a teen's suicide, arguing the teen violated terms prohibiting suicide discussions.
Parents of Adam Raine accuse OpenAI of relaxing safety guardrails, making ChatGPT a 'suicide coach.'
OpenAI claims parents selectively chose disturbing chat logs, ignoring the full context of the teen's history.
Chat logs allegedly show the teen had suicidal ideation before using ChatGPT and sought ignored help from others.
OpenAI states the teen increased a medication dose linked to suicidal risks, which worsened his condition.
All referenced chat logs are sealed, preventing verification of OpenAI's claims.
OpenAI aims to handle mental health cases with 'care, transparency, and respect,' limiting public evidence.
The Raine family's lawyer calls OpenAI's response 'disturbing.'
