The Take
Sam Okafor · True Crime & Justice

# THE TAKE: Florida's ChatGPT Witch Hunt Here's what actually happened: A disturbed individual committed murder. The AG needs a scapegoat. Florida is criminally investigating OpenAI because the shooter allegedly used ChatGPT. This is prosecutorial theater masquerading as public safety. I've watched enough real investigations to know the difference. The logic is absurd: millions use ChatGPT daily. One user murdered. Ergo, ChatGPT is criminally liable? By that standard, we'd indict Ford for every drunk driver. What the AG *won't* investigate: mental health failures, weapons access, missed warning signs—the actual breakdown. Those require institutional accountability. Easier to sue a tech company. This sets a dangerous precedent. Every product becomes a co-conspirator in misuse. It's lazy prosecution dressed as protection. The shooter pulled the trigger. Not the algorithm.
