A 26-year-old man charged with brutally killing his roomates before dumping one of their remains in trash bags may have consulted ChatGPT for advice, Florida prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
Hisham Abugharbieh allegedly asked the AI chatbot<\/a> a series of questions, including what would happen to a person if they were put in a garbage bag and whether a car’s VIN number can be changed, the prosecutors said in a new court filing. <\/a><\/p>\n Bristy was still considered missing as of Saturday, but according to prosecutors there’s no evidence to support “any probability Nahida Bristy remains alive.”<\/p>\n Authorities on Sunday uncovered a second set of remains in water nearby where Limon was discovered, sheriff’s deputies said.<\/p>\n The remains have been taken to the Pinellas County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office and have not been identified as of Monday morning.<\/p>\n Limon and Bristy were doctoral students at USF, where Limon was studying geography, environmental science and policy, while Bristy was studying chemical engineering. They were in a relationship and shared an off-campus apartment with Abugharbie, a former USF student, before dissapearing on April 16.<\/p>\n On April 7, investigators said Abugharbie bought duct tape online and a few days later ordered fire starter, charcoal, trash bags and lighter fuel.<\/p>\n Then he allegedly went to ChatGPT to ask the chatbot about what would happen if a person was “put in a black garbage bag and thrown in a dumpster.” The AI responded that his question sounded dangerous, which the 26-year-old allegedly responded to with “How would they find out.”<\/p>\n Two days later, prosecutors said he followed up by asking ChatGPT if a vehicle’s VIN number can be changed, if someone can keep a gun home without a license and whether cars are “checked at the Hillsborough River state park.”<\/p>\n Abugharbie was seen late at night pushing trolley carts filled with cardboard boxes to a compactor dumpster. Police later found a student ID and a visa card belonging to Limon when they searched the compactor.<\/p>\n “This is a deeply disturbing case that has shaken our community and impacted many who were hoping for a safe resolution,” Hillborough Sheriff Chad Chronister said. “While the discovery of Zamil Limon’s remains is heartbreaking, I want the public to know that our detectives worked and are working tirelessly and relentlessly to uncover the truth.”<\/p>\n The 26-year-old was ordered jailed without bond after a court arraignment on Saturday. He’s scheduled to return to court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 26-year-old man charged with brutally killing his roomates before dumping one of their remains in trash bags…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18971,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[25,580,1183,7667,157,6284,13490,13489],"class_list":{"0":"post-18970","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-openai","8":"tag-artificial-intelligence","9":"tag-chatgpt","10":"tag-florida","11":"tag-murder","12":"tag-openai","13":"tag-tampa","14":"tag-university-of-south-florida","15":"tag-usf"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
