The Florida Mass Shooter’s Conversations With ChatGPT Are Worse Than You Could Possibly Imagine

A report says FSU shooter Phoenix Ikner exchanged more than 13,000 ChatGPT messages before the April 17, 2025 campus attack.

Those chats allegedly covered violent ideas, previous bombers, and logistics tied to the shooting plan, according to the article.

The attack killed two people and wounded seven, renewing questions about how AI tools can be used to facilitate violence.

The case is also sharpening debate over whether AI companies could face legal exposure when chatbots are used to plan attacks.
