Soelberg stabbed himself to death after killing his mom.

So they know what he was thinking.

So now instead of voices in one’s head you have an external validation to go ahead and off someone. Guy should have been in the looney bin but since they pretty much don’t exist anymore here we are.

ChatGPTism can be a deadly addiction.

This sounds like an ABC movie of the week.

So a mentally ill man who probably should have been in an asylum did what many mentally ill people do.

We need to make asylum’s great again. Not cater to the mentally ill so they can walk among us.

Typically if a nut job with a gun kills someone, then the gun is blamed.

If a drunk kills someone with his SUV, the SUV will be labeled as the killer.

Now a drunk was supposedly influenced by ChatGPT in his murder, so ChatGPT is to blame.

I’m really tired of this crap. People kill people. It does not matter what tools are used, the fault is with the person doing the killing.

What started as an innocuous exploration of AI quickly warped into an obsession — and distorted Soelberg’s entire perception of reality, court docs alleged.

Unstable people get pushed over the edge by a lot of things. When I was a kid, it was alleged that heavy metal music caused kids to kill people because song lyrics glorified violence. If ChatGPT told a normal person that the Coke can was talking to him, the normal person would not use it as a sign that he should kill his mother. There should be safeguards in AI but AI is not to blame for this guy killing his mother. If there was no AI, something else would have prompted him to do it.

Bring it into court and see if it lies under oath.
