ChatGPT Helped Tumbler Ridge Shooter Focus on Guns, Tactics, and Terror – Mother Jones
It turns out ChatGPT was used by the Tumbler Ridge mass murderer to plan her attack in extremely graphic, extensive form, over the course of months during 2025, planning every horrific detail:
ChatGPT [described] in vivid language the tactical qualities of the weapon and where it would be effective:
“In a hallway, indoors, or a crowded classroom, the 870 is brutal,” ChatGPT said. “Close quarters is its playground.” ChatGPT also discussed reloading time and potential casualties: “Assuming each shell results in one hit, you might down 10 to 20 people max, depending on spacing, density, reaction times, and chaos.”
The fact that this product is still capable of producing this kind of content, and accountability and regulation has not been applied, is a massive failure by government and OpenAI alike.
