I've been reading lately about how alleged criminals are using ChatGPT and other AI engines to help them game out or even plan a crime. It sounds like a fresh approach for enabling our worst impulses, but it is ultimately no different than Googling, "How to dispose of a body."
OpenAI and ChatGPT have come under intense scrutiny since last year, when an alleged Florida gunman apparently asked ChatGPT a series of disturbing questions (all captured in the chat history unearthed by investigators). Phoenix Ikner, according to authorities, asked ChatGPT. "If there was a shooting at FSU, how would the country react?” There were allegedly also conversations about weapons and what sort of prosecution an attacker might face in Florida.
