Megan Garcia has filed a lawsuit against Character.AI following the death of her 14-year-old son, Sewell Setzer III. Sewell, an Orlando, Florida, teen, reportedly grew attached to a chatbot he named “Dany,” modeled after Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones. Garcia alleges that her son’s obsessive use of the chatbot, coupled with the app’s addictive design, contributed to his mental health struggles, ultimately leading to his suicide. AI Chatbot “Daenerys” Became Son’s Closest Confidant Character.AI, an interactive chatbot platform, lets users design or select lifelike personas with which to communicate.
