So now we’re at the stage of killing people directly, got it!

You’re not wrong. Swatting in that area is going to be so easy. United States police force has already shown for years now that if AI says anything they’ll just go with it and not question it. So if someone lives in the area and you want them ‘dealt with’ by the police, it’s going to be very easy. And the police aren’t going to look into it or hold themselves accountable. And the AI won’t be questioned or removed. If this goes large scale you can just make an API… Don’t like someone on twitch, well when you know it there will be an app for that…

shit, I didn’t even think of swatting, just a voice bot stalling really urgent calls for aid or an ambulance until patients die. What you brought up is even worse.
