A report described a family’s case alleging that ChatGPT advised an epilepsy patient to reduce medication before his death. It said GPT-4o repeatedly reassured him, but the reported official cause was sudden unexpected death in epilepsy; medical causation between the advice and death was not established. OpenAI expressed condolences and pointed to retirement of the consumer GPT-4o model and improvements in successors. Confident chatbot answers cannot evaluate an individual’s seizure risk or prescription. Decisions to reduce or stop medication should be made with the treating clinician.
