    Terrible and all, but I don’t see how chatGPT enabled this. It’s like blaming mobile phones because he used those too.

      I don’t think that’s the point they are making. What they are saying is this type of crime is becoming more successful with the help of AI, not that the perpetrator couldn’t have done it without AI.

      Same as will phone scams. They are becoming more successful all the time with the help of AI because of its ability to emulate human conversation, voice match, etc.

    I mean, can we ask where the parents were? Busy I guess. Excuses.

      While I am curious about where the parents were, I also recognize that even if they knew their kid was playing video games with randoms on the internet, it’s still unlikely that the parents would have the skills to differentiate the other kids on the server playing from the random adult with nefarious intentions.

      This seems like a failing of parents to use parental controls and also make themselves aware of the dangers and safeguards altogether.

      I suspect the parents were working. A lot of poor parents often are working when their kids get involved in things they shouldn’t.
