ChatGPT “told” a thief to steal high-end computer components — at least, that’s the story a suspect in Pyeongtaek is pitching to police after allegedly drilling their way into a computer parts store and making off with pricey graphics cards.

    “When I asked ChatGPT, it said that if I transferred stolen money to an account tied to my losses, and if I was then caught for theft, police would naturally investigate the fraud along with the theft.”

    One thing I’ve noticed is that AI in general expresses a delusional level of trust in established authorities.

      Ok but the FBI literally entraps people all the time. How is it substantially different if instead of a guy being paid to try to get you to shoot up a church or synagogue its like a chatbot agent telling you to steal cards?

          That’s a strange set of circumstances.

            I’d agree, but the platypus won’t let me.
