The Tesla explosion near Trump's building in Las Vegas was orchestrated by ChatGPT.

The driver of the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded near the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve used the popular chatbot ChatGPT to plan the explosion.

Reuters reported this information.

Last week, authorities identified the individual found dead inside the Cybertruck as Matthew Livelsberger, 37, an Army soldier from Colorado Springs, stating that he acted alone. The FBI claims that the incident was most likely a case of suicide.

The Las Vegas Police Department stated that the Cybertruck explosion was the first incident in the United States where ChatGPT was used to create an explosive device.

Critics of artificial intelligence warn that it can be utilized for malicious purposes, and the attack in Las Vegas may intensify this criticism, according to Reuters.

"It is particularly noteworthy that we now have clear evidence in this case that the suspect used the ChatGPT AI to plan his attack," said Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Police Department at a press conference.

OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, stated that it "strives for the responsible use of AI tools" and that its "models are designed to reject harmful instructions."

"In this case, ChatGPT responded with information that was already publicly available on the internet and provided warnings about harmful or illegal actions," the company's statement read.

The FBI asserts that there was no specific link between the truck attack in New Orleans, which resulted in the deaths of more than 10 people, and the Cybertruck explosion, which caused minor injuries to seven individuals. The FBI added that the suspect did not harbor animosity toward the elected U.S. President Donald Trump and likely suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.

It is worth noting that the Tesla Cybertruck exploded in Las Vegas near the entrance of a hotel operated under a brand owned by elected U.S. President Donald Trump. The vehicle was loaded with canisters of fuel and fireworks. The police have yet to determine whether this was an act against Trump or his ally, Tesla owner Elon Musk.
