Holy crap. Yeah, do not give these things access to the Internet.
AI model submitted false tip about unsolved murder,
Philadelphia police say
An AI model sent a fake
murder tip to police and it took 2 months to discover it happened
The good news appears to be that the system behind PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com flagged it as
spam and it didn't waste investigative resources. The bad news is that it took two months
for Anthropic to 'fess up to generating bullshit that could waste police time.
Via.
