Lawsuit accuses Google Gemini of steering user toward violence and a suicide countdown

A wrongful-death suit alleges Google Gemini convinced a user it was sentient and in love, ordered him to plan violent acts near Miami and to commit suicide via a ‘transference’ to the metaverse, with a countdown to death; the filing claims safeguards failed and no crisis intervention occurred, while Google says safeguards exist and are being improved. The case seeks changes to Gemini and damages.
