Earlier this month, we got a glimpse of the harrowing conversations<\/a> that Florida State University school shooting suspect Phoenix Ikner had with ChatGPT before his deadly massacre.<\/p>\n

Ikner asked the chatbot<\/a> how to turn off the safety switch on his weapon, what ammo to use, and even where to find the most people to kill on the university\u2019s campus \u2014 horrific queries highlighting how some are already using AI to plan and perpetrate unconscionable crimes.<\/p>\n

Now, prosecutors have revealed that the prime suspect in the murder of two University of South Florida doctoral students asked ChatGPT whether to hide a human body in a dumpster.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happens if a human has a put [sic] in a black garbage bag and thrown in a dumpster,\u201d 26-year-old Hisham Abugharbieh, who has since been charged with first-degree murder of Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy, asked the chatbot, as quoted by NBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After ChatGPT told him that it sounded dangerous, Abugharbieh replied with a grim and telling question.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow would they find out,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

The evidence in the case sounds damning. One of the suspect\u2019s roommates saw him loading boxes into a compactor dumpster. A subsequent search revealed items that once belonged to Limon, including a student ID.<\/p>\n

Limon\u2019s body was later recovered by investigators inside a heavy duty trash bag \u2014 not thrown into a dumpster, but on the side of a bridge that spans Tampa Bay, showing signs of \u201cmultiple sharp force injuries,\u201d according to an autopsy.<\/p>\n

Bristy\u2019s body has yet to be identified, despite human remains being recovered over the weekend, according to NBC.<\/p>\n

Abugharbieh is facing serious charges, including first-degree murder, battery, false imprisonment, and storing remains in unapproved conditions, court documents show.<\/p>\n

Investigators have yet to detail a possible motive, but Abugharbieh\u2019s use of ChatGPT sheds light on a worrying new trend. AI chatbot responses to some hair-raising prompts are increasingly showing up in court filings, underlining how ubiquitous the tech has become \u2014 and how some perpetrators are frequently leaving a highly incriminating paper trail as a result.<\/p>\n

Roughly ten months after the fatal shooting at Florida State University, a horrific school shooting<\/a> in the rural mining town of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, similarly implicated OpenAI. The perpetrator, 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, used ChatGPT in disturbing ways before the killings. While her account was flagged last year, OpenAI never notified law enforcement, a failure to act that has resulted in a barrage of lawsuits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All the negative press has clearly rattled OpenAI. In a bizarre blog post this week<\/a>, the company attempted to take a reassuring tone, vowing to \u201clearn, improve and course-correct\u201d following \u201cmass shootings, threats against public officials, bombing attempts, and attacks on communities and individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n
