14-year-old Sewell Setzer has reportedly taken his own life in Florida, United States of America after he became obsessed with an AI chatbot character

His mother, Megan Garcia is now suing the AI company, Character Technologies, claiming their service played a role in her teenage son’s tragedy, reports UK’s The Independent.

She alleged that his deep attachment to a chatbot portraying the character Daenerys Targaryen led him down a destructive path.

According to the lawsuit, Setzer life spiraled after he began using the chatbot service, Character.AI, in April 2023.

It alleges that the deceased became increasingly withdrawn soon after engaging with the AI character.

By May, his mother said she noticed significant changes in his behaviour, which included quitting the basketball team and struggling to stay awake in class.

By November, Setzer parents arranged for him to see a therapist, who diagnosed him with anxiety and disruptive mood disorder.

Without knowing the extent of Sewell’s “addiction” to the AI platform, the therapist recommended that he reduce his time on social media. However, his attachment to the AI character, Daenerys, continued to grow.

“It took me getting married and giving birth to realise marriage benefits men more” — Woman shares emotional thoughts

A woman has stirred serious conversations online after opening up about how marriage and motherhood changed her perspective on life.

In a heartfelt reflection, she said it was only after getting married and giving birth that she began questioning who marriage truly benefits.

According to her, women often carry the heavier load — emotionally, physically, and mentally.

She explained that marriage can make women feel like tools, responsible for cooking, cleaning, caring for the home, and even contributing financially, while still bearing the full weight of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare.

She questioned why something described as a “blessing” should come with so much pain, stress, sleepless nights, and emotional strain for women.

In her words, childbirth comes with intense pain, followed by years of responsibility that largely fall on the woman, while many men continue life almost unchanged.

She admitted she never strongly pushed for marriage herself and only went along with it after family pressure. It was the lived experience — not theory — that opened her eyes.

While she made it clear that she loves her son deeply and finds joy in him, she said motherhood also forced her to confront uncomfortable truths about expectations placed on women.
