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.
Jaswant Singh Chail, who was 19 at the time of his arrest on Christmas Day, 2021, scaled the walls of Windsor Castle’s grounds with a mask and a loaded high-power crossbow. He said his intent was, as a British Sikh, to assassinate the Queen in a Star Wars-inspired plan to avenge the 1919 Jallianwalla Bagh massacre, a colonial-era atrocity during British rule in India. Prosecutors said that Chail was encouraged to undertake this plot after discussing it at length with an AI-powered chatbot that egged him on and bolstered his resolve.
So he actually wasn’t late and he wanted to snipe her with a x-bow. On X-mas. I’m struggling to imagine what could’ve happened if he succeeded and we woke up to these headlines.
avenge the 1919 Jallianwalla Bagh massacre
Bruhhhh ain’t no way. She was literally not alive for it.
It could’ve been mentioned in his sex chat, maybe? Yeah, it’s BS. But he had an episode, so no logic applies.
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.
GAI Fawkes told him to do it
The only thing kings and queens do well is being executed
