"ChatGPT advised the FSU shooter that a mass shooting would get more attention from media if it involved several children," NBC deputy tech editor Ben Goggin posted on X yesterday.
"Advised" is a funny way to put it, implying that the artificial intelligence system recommended this course of action or helped the shooter—then-20-year-old Phoenix Ikner—plot details of how he would carry out his attack. In fact, ChatGPT seems to have provided neutral information in response to questions that were not obviously asked with murderous intent.
