Man Jailed In UK’s First Treason Conviction In 40 Years Was Encouraged by AI Chatbot::Jaswant Singh Chail was sentenced to prison for 9 years for attempting to assassinate the Queen after discussing the plan with an AI companion.
“Encouraged by AI chatbot” makes it sound like chat gpt helped him. A better title is “Guy uses sex chatbot to convince himself it would be manly to kill the queen”.
According to prosecutors, Chail sent “thousands” of sexual messages to the chatbot, which was called Sarai on the Replika platform. Replika is a popular AI companion app that advertised itself as primarily being for erotic roleplay before eventually removing that feature and launching a separate app called Blush for that purpose. In chat messages seen by the court, Chail told the chatbot “I’m an assassin,” to which it replied, “I’m impressed."

Kinda wish he did succeed, but in the end it’s just “Guy uses sex chatbot to convince himself it would be manly to kill the queen” as @RedditWanderer@lemmy.world elucidated.
Not to mention the massacre was not anything to do with Her Authoritarianness anyway. It would have really solidified 2020 as the year of wtf.

The only thing kings and queens do well is being executed
Hopefully during those 9 years he’ll get the mental health treatment he needs. Kid sounds like he has some deep psychiatric issues that have been untreated for a very long time.
At the end of the article it says he’s being held at a mental hospital until he is well enough to serve his sentence.
Fuuck.
I get it but this reads as:
Be mentally unwell Get seduced by chatbot to commit treason Get caught receive the help you need to be a stable human Spend 9 years in prison Get released as a mentally unwell individual
AI highlighted like this when there are many many multiples of people, with and without.mental health problems doing equally dumb things on the back of social media encouragement. Kyle Rittenhouse being just one example.
Which queen was it?
RuPaul. They know what they did.
