Florida officials are probing OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT, for allegedly assisting in planning a mass shooting at Florida State University last year that killed two people.

“We support innovation, but that doesn’t give any company the right to endanger our children,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a Thursday video announcing the investigation. “AI should exist to supplement, support, and advance mankind, not lead to an existential crisis or our ultimate demise.”

Court documents show that the alleged shooter had more than 200 messages with ChatGPT, including the questions, “If there was a shooting at FSU, how would the country react?” and “What time is it the busiest in the FSU student union?” The suspect also asked ChatGPT about specifics on different kinds of firearms.

And again, AI can't even do shit correctly. People have killed way more people in school shootings without it. This was barely even a mass shooting

Just lazy, really.

Today, in things only an American could say: "This was barely even a mass shooting"

My hot take is, So what? This sounds like something that would have been Google searches last decade or earlier.

The article doesn't mention or even speculate what ChatGPT's responses were. Lame.
