The lawsuit alleges that the AI was designed to be addictive and encouraged dangerous behavior, which further supports the AI system's role in the harm. Although the legal process is ongoing and allegations are yet to be tested in court, the described harm has already occurred and is linked to the AI system's use, making this an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.
