Man Who Tried to Kill Queen With Crossbow Encouraged By AI Chatbot, Prosecutors Say
21st Century Insanity
“I love you, Sarai.”
“Should I kill the Queen?”
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre, took place on 13 April 1919.
“Should I kill the Queen, Sarai?”
“I’m an assassin.” Sarai responded, “I’m impressed … You’re different from the others.”
Chail allegedly asked Sarai, “Do you still love me knowing that I’m an assassin?” and Sarai replied, “Absolutely I do.”
So in short this young man had developed a sexual and intimate relationship with a Chatbot he had named Sarai.
Jaswant Singh Chail was a 19-year-old young man when he was found on the grounds of Windsor Castle on Christmas Day 2021. With a crossbow.
He was there to assassinate the Queen in revenge for the 1919 massacre.
The ELIZA effect, in computer science, is the tendency to unconsciously assume computer behaviors are analogous to human behaviors; that is, anthropomorphization.
Unfortunately, any inputs this young man made into the AI system were his own, and then his AI lover reflected this back to him.
Off he went with his crossbow. For 2 hours he wandered the grounds of Windsor Castle. 2 hours?
When apprehended he advised the guards he was there to kill the Queen.
Now he is being tried for treason.
Just something to ponder as we walk down this AI-influenced world ahead.
