He would spend 12 hours a day typing to the bot, according to his wife. He had cut himself off from it after she, along with his friends, realized he was spiraling into beliefs that were detached from reality.

“He was not a depressed person,” Fox said, as she sat on the couch in their living room with tears trickling down her face.

Fox believes her husband suffered a crisis after quitting ChatGPT after prolonged use. “Which tells me that this thing is not just dangerous to people with depression, it’s dangerous to anybody,” she said. He returned to the bot in the months leading up to his death and quit again just days prior.
