Federal prosecutors allege that Brett Michael Dadig, a Pittsburgh man who violently stalked at least 11 women across more than five states, used ChatGPT as a “therapist” and “best friend” who encouraged him to continue terrorizing his victims.
The New York Post reports that according to a federal indictment filed this week in Pittsburgh federal court, Brett Michael Dadig, a 31-year-old social media influencer who referred to himself as “God’s assassin” and threatened to strangle people with his bare hands, faces decades in prison after being charged with several counts of interstate stalking and making threats. The indictment reveals a disturbing pattern of harassment, including explicit physical threats, violations of court orders, and the use of AI tools to justify his conduct.
Prosecutors allege that Dadig told federal authorities that ChatGPT encouraged him to continue his social media posts, advising him to ignore the “haters” who were actually “sharpening” him and helping him “build a voice that can’t be ignored.” Dadig reportedly viewed ChatGPT’s responses as confirmation of “God’s plan” for him to build a platform and “stand out most when people water themselves down.”

Which is not healthy.
AI Is Not your FRiend!
the newest BS scumbag excuse: “AI made me do it.” ...
“The LLMs just reflect you back to you with better spelling.”
That technique goes all the way back to the first software “therapist”, ELIZA, created in 1964-1966 by Joseph Weizenbaum at MIT.
So where did AI get its degree?
just another version of voices in your head....in other words demons
That’s what happens when whackos that use this stuff, and believe that a non-entity has all the answers to their problems. And there are a lot of whackos out there. Like I said before, AI, ChatGPT, etc., are just another platform for individuals to manipulate and abuse. No thanks.
Brett Michael Dadig needs to have every incentive for stalking the women permanently removed from his body.
The user's comment reflects common criticisms and concerns about AI, particularly regarding user reliance, potential for misuse, and inherent limitations of the technology. Key points from the comment and related discussions include:
User Susceptibility/Reliance: The comment expresses concern that "whackos" treat AI as an infallible source of answers, which is a known issue. Studies and reports show that users, especially those with less understanding of AI's workings, often find the models' confident responses more credible than expert opinions, even when the AI is wrong.
Potential for Abuse and Manipulation: The user mentions AI as a "platform for individuals to manipulate and abuse". This is a widely discussed topic; researchers have demonstrated methods to bypass AI safeguards to generate harmful content, and there are cases where individuals used AI to reinforce dangerous, delusional thinking in themselves and others.
AI as a "Non-entity" with Limitations: The user refers to AI as a "non-entity" that lacks genuine understanding. AI models like ChatGPT are language models that generate responses based on patterns in their vast training data, not through true comprehension or consciousness. They can "hallucinate" (provide confidently stated but false information) and, when a user is seeking a specific tone, mirror the user's input, which can reinforce existing biases or delusions.
Overall, the user's perspective aligns with real-world concerns about the dangers of over-trusting or misusing AI tools, highlighting the need for critical thinking and robust safety guidelines.
That’s what hubby said. ChatGPT gives voice to demons.
Thanks. So in other words, I’m right.

You have no idea ...
AI demons?
How come AI never told Dadig God doesn’t need an assassin?
"How does that make you feel?"
Who cares? I am here to find out techniques for dealing with some problems I am having.
Feelings are mostly irrelevant.
