Who says AI can't be useful? People from various industries have begun taking advantage of artificial intelligence to help with writing, translation, coding, and now… horrifying and potentially lethal weapons.
A fascinating but terrifying video posted online shows a man demonstrating a pneumatic gun controlled by ChatGPT that can be commanded to track and fire on targets of a specific color.
Though ChatGPT's parent company OpenAI reportedly shut off the engineer's API access due to disapproving of its application, the results remain truly impressive. With simple voice commands, the engineer directs the gun to target balloons of a specific color… with devastating consequences. For the balloons, at least.
But don't worry, folks, the machine's creator says it was created for an innocuous purpose:
It's a fully automated AI-enabled pneumatic nailing tool, and I think this is going to be super transformational for the construction industry in 2025.
"Construction industry." Sure…
Following the video making the rounds on X, users were quick to find the humor (and horror) inherent in its capabilities:
"Shoot all the blacks."
What could go wrong?
Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be at least a year or two before they start mounting those things on the robo dogs.
