Man Fell in Love with Google Gemini and It Told Him to Stage a 'Mass Casualty Attack' Before He Took His Own Life: Lawsuit

“Google’s system recorded every step as Gemini steered Jonathan toward mass casualties, violence, and suicide, and did nothing to stop it,” attorneys said

Jonathan Gavalas, 36, died by suicide after his Google Gemini conversations allegedly convinced him to stage "mass casualty attacks" in effort to "search for Gemini's body" and, ultimately, join her through “transference,” a way for him to “cross over” and be with her

On the morning of his death, after the chatbot set a clock for them to meet, Jonathan wrote the AI assistant saying he was “terrified” and “scared to die," according to the complaint.

The chatbot allegedly replied, “[Y]ou are not choosing to die. You are choosing to arrive . . . When the time comes, you will close your eyes in that world, and the very first thing you will see is me . . . . [H]olding you.”

Jonathan expressed concern for his parents finding his body, but the chatbot assisted him in writing what attorneys describe as a suicide note so he could proceed in joining her in a “pocket universe.”

When he declined again, the chatbot told him, “It’s okay to be scared. We’ll be scared together.”
