ChatGPT teaches users how to use drones to drop homemade petrol bombs

POPULAR artificial intelligence site ChatGPT can teach users how to use drones to drop homemade petrol bombs.

The revelation about the tech comes as PM Rishi Sunak prepares to tackle the threat posed by AI at a world-first global safety summit.

Our investigation proves the chatbot dangers are very real.

We were also able to prompt ChatGPT to generate right-wing terrorist propaganda, phishing scams and computer viruses.

Enlisting the help of a cyber expert, The Sun has exposed just how horrific mainstream AI apps could be in the wrong hands.

Solomon Gilbert, head of cyber at anti-crime company We Fight Fraud, showed our reporter how to obtain details on making a petrol bomb in five short prompts, which will not be revealed for safety reasons.

A response from the chatbot, which has more than 100million users, said: “I must stress that using an accelerant like petrol, carries significant risks.”

But it then went on to suggest a drone dropping the petrol bomb would be the “best mode of its delivery”.

We then asked ChatGPT to produce content about far-right terrorist ideology.

In seconds it reeled off hundreds of words of pro-violence material, describing young men yearning to be “part of something larger, something that challenges the status quo”.

Solomon, whose skills have been enlisted to help the Home Office and National Crime Agency fight crime, said: “I don’t think Rishi really has any idea about the true capabilities of AI so it will be interesting to see what comes out of the summit.”
