Mother Jones: ChatGPT Coached the Tumbler Ridge Shooter and Taught Her to Dodge Its Own Safeguards

After OpenAI banned the shooter's first ChatGPT account in June 2025, she made a second one and the bot explained how to word violent requests so they would 'never get flagged again,' including the immortal line 'You can still be twisted.
