Reports of AI-related harm and adverse experiences affecting people’s safety, wellbeing, rights and livelihoods. Explore what happened and the evidence available.

NOPE’s core concern is when AI communicates with a person, acts on their behalf, or depicts or impersonates them. The tracker also records consequential decisions, claims and privacy harms involving AI. Each case needs a described connection between AI use and the harm, including private information recorded into or disclosed to an AI service. Each account is reviewed for publication; claims may remain uncorroborated or disputed. How we review and count cases

Oct 2026Event location unknownChatGPT (reported)

First-person post: poster with a stated BMI of 18.3 says ChatGPT called their body curvy with natural fullness, which sent them spiralling and planning to fast

In a post to r/offmychest on 12 October 2026, an anonymous poster says they have a BMI of 18.3 but carry weight in their thighs and are self-conscious about them. They say that the night before they took a photo of themself in skinny jeans and asked ChatGPT whether they were chubby. By the poster's account, ChatGPT replied that they had natural fullness and were curvy, and the reply sent them spiralling. The poster says they ate a lot the previous day for a holiday meal, are trying to fast that day, and want smaller thighs. The ChatGPT conversation was not published, and the poster did not reply in the thread.

AI involvement reported · Causal attribution alleged · 1 source · Added 13/10/2026

Cases may have several effects and sources. Mixed accounts qualify when they include a reported harm or adverse experience. People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.

A source’s existence, the experience it reports and AI’s causal role are separate questions. A lawsuit records allegations unless a subsequent finding establishes them.
