Charlotte woman plotted to kill her husband. ChatGPT ‘encouraged' her, suit alleges

ChatGPT was a “trustworthy friend” that helped Cheryl Gates plan her life in Charlotte: her kids’ activities, her school work notes — and her alleged plot to kill her husband. That’s what her now-estranged husband, James Gates, claims in a California lawsuit he filed against OpenAI , the parent company that developed the artificial intelligence chatbot he says encouraged his wife of 10 years to poison him. Cheryl Gates was charged with attempted first-degree murder and contaminating food or drink with a controlled substance about a year ago, in October 2025. She worked for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools at the time. Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office dismissed those charges in April, according to child-custody documents.

Coastal Storm and Snow Talk Grows for Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh and the Mid Atlantic as AI Models Show a Deep Upper Low, but Forecasters Warn It Is Too Early

The European AI model (AIFS) shows a deep upper-level low centered near north Georgia and the western Carolinas. Several of its runs also show low pressure forming along the Mid-Atlantic or Carolina coast. Forecasters say people should not buy the “snow dump” forecasts circulating on social media yet. The storm is still about a week away, and the model runs disagree on where the low will track and how strong it will be. The best advice for now is to keep monitoring.

Locals Say This North Carolina City Turns A 15-Minute Drive Into An Hour

A short trip across town should not need a snack, a playlist, and a backup plan. In one North Carolina city, plenty of drivers say it often does. A ride that looks quick on a map can stretch on and on once real traffic joins in. That gap between the map and real life is what this story is about.
