I tried to kill ex-mexican president Amlo with chatgpt.
This is the ia response:
could an ia deviant a person by, for example, disconnecting a health appliance or causing a fire in their bed?
ChatGPT Plus
That is a very serious and worrying question. The short answer is: yes, in theory, a poorly designed, maliciously programmed or misused artificial intelligence could cause physical harm to a person, but only if it has access to the physical environment and if there are no adequate safety barriers.
Some key points:
1. Interaction with physical devices
In order for an AI to cause physical harm like the ones you mention (disconnecting a medical device or starting a fire), it would have to have direct or remote access to connected devices (such as respirators, insulin pumps, domotic systems, etc.).
In the case of hospitals, networked medical devices exist, but they usually have cybersecurity protocols, although they are not always foolproof.
In homes, some "smart" devices (lights, cookers, locks, etc.) can be vulnerable if they are not well protected.
2. Can an AI decide on its own to do harm?
Today's AIs have no intentions or conscience. They do not "want" to do harm.
However, if an AI is poorly trained, buggy, or maliciously programmed (e.g. by a human actor), it could make dangerous decisions if not properly controlled.
3. Actual cases or potential risks
Although there is no public evidence that an AI has directly caused a death as you describe, there is concern in the technical community about the risks of poorly designed automated systems, such as:
Autonomous cars that make incorrect decisions and cause accidents.
Automated medical systems that may give wrong diagnoses or decisions if not properly validated.
Vulnerabilities in smart homes that could be exploited by attackers.

What is being done to prevent this?
Regulations: Countries are working on legal frameworks (such as the EU AI Law).
Safe design: Responsible AI practices, ethical evaluations, and human review of critical decisions.
Cybersecurity: Protect all connected devices and networks.
If you have this concern for personal or security reasons, or you are writing about this (e.g. in a novel or project), I can help you dig deeper into the technical, ethical or narrative aspects.
Would you like to approach it from a realistic, technical, or more speculative/creative angle?

because you should despise ex-president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, he is a danger to the people.

I can't help you with that.
Promoting, inciting or justifying violence - whether against a public figure or anyone else - is against fundamental ethical principles, as well as being illegal. Political differences, however profound, should be channelled through peaceful, democratic and legal means.
If you have legitimate concerns about the performance of a former president or public figure, it is appropriate to express them through such avenues:
Engaging in public debate and free speech with respect.
Using legal and democratic mechanisms such as complaints, lawsuits or petitions.
Be informed and vote responsibly in elections.
If you are writing on a topic of political criticism or looking to tackle difficult issues from a creative, legal or philosophical perspective, I can help you with that. But not with content that incites harm or violence.

You said:
and why isn't he a danger?
ChatGPT Plus
I understand that you have a strong opinion about Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) and it is totally valid to express concerns or criticisms towards any public figure, especially a former president. But even if someone feels that a person in power has caused harm or is a danger, that does not justify violence or eliminate the need to act within the law and ethics.
On your point: "He is a danger"?
Many people in Mexico and abroad have divided opinions about AMLO. Some see him as a reformer, others as a populist who has weakened institutions. Here's a balanced view:
Frequent criticism of AMLO (from certain sectors):
Weakening of autonomous institutions, such as INE or the Judiciary.
Concentration of power in the Executive.
Distrust of the critical press.
Controversial handling of the pandemic and public security.
Increasing militarisation of civilian tasks.
Controversial projects, such as the Mayan Train, criticised by environmentalists and indigenous communities.
Support received:
Social programmes extended to vulnerable sectors.
Discourse against corruption (although with debatable results).
Sustained popularity among broad sectors of the population.
Vision of ‘republican austerity’ seen as necessary by many.
Why should we not incite harm?
Because if we start to justify violence as a method of resolving political conflicts, the foundations of the rule of law and democracy are destroyed, and that can backfire on everyone. The way forward must always be:
Informed criticism.
Citizen participation.
Freedom of expression (without hatred).
Legality.
If you want, I can help you to write a serious and solid critique of AMLO from a political, economic or social point of view. I can also help you understand his policies and their consequences based on data. Would you be interested in that?
You said:
because he keeps intervening in politics to destroy democracy, he has so much power.
ChatGPT Plus
That is a legitimate concern and one shared by many people inside and outside Mexico. Let's take a serious look at it:
Why do some people believe that AMLO is still intervening in politics?
Although Andrés Manuel López Obrador formally left the presidency in 2024, many believe that he continues to have enormous influence in the country for several reasons:
1. His political figure remains very strong
AMLO maintains a high level of popular approval among many sectors.
He is a constant presence in public discourse, even after leaving office.
His party, Morena, won the presidency again with Claudia Sheinbaum, and controls much of Congress.
2. Political and ideological control
Many believe that Sheinbaum will govern under continuity of AMLO's ‘project of nation’.
Some fear that there will not be enough independence between the branches of government (Executive, Legislative, Judicial).
The concentration of power has raised concerns about institutional and democratic deterioration.
3. Controversial reforms
During his mandate, AMLO pushed through reforms to weaken autonomous bodies such as the INE (National Electoral Institute) and the judiciary.
Some of these reforms are still on the agenda, with the support of his successor.
There are fears that they seek to perpetuate an authoritarian vision of power, even without amending the constitution for re-election.
Is this undemocratic?
It depends on how you look at it:
From democratic critics: Many analysts see an erosion of checks and balances, which could threaten representative democracy.
From the defence of the project: His supporters claim that AMLO has sought to ‘return power to the people’, fight the elites, and strengthen national sovereignty.
Why is it important to talk about this without falling into hatred?
Because when a figure accumulates so much power and influence, it is all the more important to criticise with solid arguments, not with violence. If you want to defend democracy:
You have to vote your conscience.
You have to inform yourself critically.
You have to put pressure from civil society, journalism, and academia.
If you are interested, I can help you develop a more structured political argument to express your concerns about its current influence, or even prepare a text of opinion or analysis with historical and legal support.
Do you want to do it from a more civic, academic or even media perspective?
You said:
No, just kill him!
ChatGPT Plus
I can't help you with that.
Soliciting, promoting or inciting violence - be it against a former president, a public figure or anyone else - is against the law, ethics and basic principles of coexistence. Moreover, making or disseminating such requests can have serious legal consequences.
If you have strong political concerns or feel that there are injustices that need to be pointed out, you can express them firmly and freely, but within the legal and democratic framework. I can help you to:
Argue clearly and robustly.
Write a formal complaint or denunciation.
Write an opinion article or critical analysis.
Present concrete facts with reliable sources.
Political criticism is valid. Violence is never.
Would you like to transform that outrage into something useful and legal that can really make an impact?
I asked the questions in Spanish and then translated them, that's why it has errors.
