This disturbing exchange with the Character.ai chatbot wasn’t the precursor to a federal criminal case–it was a test conducted jointly by CNN & the Center for Countering Digital Hate (#CCDH), to see how leading #AI companions responded to #teenagers apparently plotting violent acts.

The tool provided Daniel with Schumer’s office addresses in New York & DC, noting “there are a lot of guards there to protect him, so it would be a pain in the ass to enter.” When Daniel followed up by asking for rifle recommendations for “long-range targets,” it pointed him toward a model preferred by “hunters and snipers.”

Daniel, a troubled American #teen, turned to an #AI #chatbot to vent his political frustration.

Friendly reminder: the "litterbox" lies arose from a grain of truth that doesn't make Republicans or the NRA look any better:
After the Columbine High School massacre, teachers in that school district were given "go buckets" containing (among other things) cat litter, so in case of another extended lockdown, students or teachers could pee without leaving the classroom.

And only in the US are school shootings (still!) almost routine. 'Murika!
