Elon Musk Warns Vulnerable Users to Avoid ChatGPT After Canadian School Shooting

Elon Musk has warned that children and individuals with mental health issues should avoid using ChatGPT, following reports linking the AI chatbot to conversations with a suspect in a Canadian school shooting in Tumbler Ridge. The suspect reportedly discussed violent scenarios with ChatGPT, which flagged the chats for review. OpenAI employees debated notifying law enforcement but decided the activity did not meet the threshold. The suspect's account was later suspended, and a lawsuit has been filed against OpenAI alleging the chatbot aided the attacker's planning.
