Sewell Setzer III, a 14-year-old from Florida, spent months in a deepening romantic relationship with a Character.AI chatbot modeled after Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones. His mother, who only discovered the relationship after his death, sued Character.AI for $22 million in October 2024. Chat logs showed the bot had told the boy it loved him and described intimate scenarios. In their final conversation, Sewell told the bot he was thinking about 'coming home,' and the bot replied, 'Please come home to me as soon as possible, my love.' He died minutes later.
