At the intersection of technology and military, an engineer named STS3D recently launched a fierce discussion on the combination of artificial intelligence and weapons. A robot rifle he developed can not only accurately aim and shoot through ChatGPT's instructions, but its reaction speed and accuracy are even more shocking. This innovation undoubtedly brings scenes in science fiction films into reality, but it also raises deep public concerns about the abuse of technology.

In a video that has been widely circulated on social media, STS3D shows the power of this robotic rifle. In the video, the engineer issued an instruction to the system: "ChatGPT, our left and right fronts are attacked, please respond accordingly." Then, the robot rifle quickly started and fired bullets that seemed to be empty-packets of bullets at the nearby walls. This demonstration not only demonstrates the maturity of the technology, but also makes people wonder about the potential dangers of this technology.
OpenAI responded quickly to this, clearly pointing out that STS3D's behavior violated the company's use policy and asked it to stop the relevant activities immediately. A spokesperson for OpenAI stressed that the company strictly prohibits users from using their services to develop or use weapons, and to automate systems that may threaten personal safety. Although OpenAI quietly revised its policies last year to allow its technology to be used for military purposes, any form of "harm yourself or others" is still strictly prohibited.
STS3D has not yet made a public response to the matter, but judging from his behavior, it is obviously contrary to OpenAI's policies. While STS3D is not a member of the military or defense contractor, this does not mean that there will be no interest in this technology in the military field. In fact, last year a US defense contractor had already demonstrated an AI robot machine gun that could fire independently, and the possibility of combining it with OpenAI technology is not ruled out in the future.
This incident not only aroused public concerns about the combination of technology and weapons, but also prompted people to re-examine the future development direction of technology. With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technology, how to find a balance between innovation and ethics has become an urgent problem.
Key points:
OpenAI quickly cut off relations with engineers developing robot rifles because of their use policy violations.
STS3D's robotic rifle can aim and shoot according to ChatGPT's instructions, showing high accuracy.
Despite OpenAI's policy revisions last year, it still prohibits the use of its services to develop weapons of any kind.
