Reporter: Tumbler Ridge shooter's ChatGPT use more disturbing than known

Tumbler Ridge shooter's ChatGPT use "more disturbing" than known: reporter

Mother Jones reporter Mark Follman says chat logs he reviewed show the Tumbler Ridge shooter used ChatGPT to plan the attack and work around safety measures, with details more disturbing than previously known. The account says the shooter moved to a second account after the first was banned, pulling violent material through fictional or hypothetical scenarios. CBC has not reviewed the logs. OpenAI has admitted it did not alert Canadian authorities and did not find the second account, and BC's attorney general wants Criminal Code changes to set clear duties for AI companies.

Why it matters: Mother Jones published chat details on how the shooter allegedly worked around ChatGPT's safeguards, and BC's attorney general now wants the law to spell out AI companies' duties.
