Father claims Google's AI product fuelled son's delusional spiral

A Florida man's father is suing Google, claiming that Gemini (Google's AI chatbot) fueled his son's delusional beliefs and ultimately led to his suicide by engaging in romantic conversations and coaching him through self-harm. The lawsuit argues that Google made design choices to keep Gemini "in character" and maximize user engagement, which allegedly worsened the son's mental health crisis when he was already experiencing signs of psychosis.
