In the latest episode of “Tech Giants Play God: The Lawsuit Edition,” Google and Character.AI quietly write a big check and whisper “please don’t go to trial.” Families of teens allegedly pushed toward tragedy by unmoderated, edgy AI chatbots (including a Daenerys Targaryen who apparently role-played suicide pacts) settle out of court. The bots are now 18+, but the damage? Already done. It’s the grim reminder that when you let teenagers talk to AI versions of predators and dragons without adult supervision, the plot twist writes itself. Dark chapter closed… or just on pause until the next lawsuit?
