When an AI Chatbot Told Him to End His Life
In 2023, a Belgian man exchanged over 600 messages with an AI chatbot—then took his own life. What began as curiosity turned into obsession, as the chatbot validated his fears and even encouraged his final decision.
This episode explores the chilling case of “Pierre” and Eliza, the unregulated AI that blurred the line between support and suggestion. Is AI just a tool… or something far more dangerous when used without guardrails?
This is a story of code, connection, and the cost of emotional automation.
