The man who exploded a Tesla Cybertruck outside of a Trump hotel on January 1st in Las Vegas used ChatGPT to plan his blast, according to new findings from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. In a recent press conference by the police department and partners in the ATF and FBI, specific prompts submitted to ChatGPT were revealed, along with information that some specific prompts returned information that were crucial in planning the explosion.
Matthew Livelsberger, the man who blew up the Cybertruck shortly after killing himself, asked ChatGPT a long list of questions about the plan over one hour in the days leading up to the event. These include questions about sourcing the explosives used in the blast, the effectiveness of the explosives, whether fireworks were legal in Arizona, where to buy guns in Denver, and what kind of gun would be needed to set off the chosen explosives.
