    To complete the artificial ouroboros here's the chat GPT translation, using the mini model to be more agile and efficient with government funds.

    #### Translation

    It has been revealed that Lee Kwang-woo, the head of the security headquarters, searched for "martial law" on the AI service ChatGPT two hours before the declaration of a state of emergency on December 3. While Lee’s side claims this was a result of "time discrepancies in the forensic process," there are also suggestions that he might have recognized the martial law before the government officials.

    According to police and prosecutors on the 18th, the application for a warrant submitted to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office included details that the head searched for "martial law," "declaration of martial law," and "dissolution of the National Assembly" around 8:20 PM on December 3rd of last year. The police conducted a search of the residences of Deputy Chief Kim and Head Lee on the 3rd of last month, securing all personal and work mobile phones for forensic examination. The Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office applied for arrest warrants for Deputy Chief Kim and Head Lee on the 18th.

    The time when Head Lee searched for these terms, around 8:20 PM on December 3rd, was before the government officials had arrived at the presidential office. The earliest arriving government official, Minister of Justice Park Sung-jae, arrived at 8:30 PM. There are concerns that Head Lee might have been aware of the martial law plans before these officials. The martial law was declared at around 10:30 PM that night.

    In response, Lee's legal representative, attorney Bae Eui-cheol, stated, "The search on ChatGPT is not only unrelated to the allegations of obstruction of public duty or abuse of power, but it also points out that there are forensic recovery errors that can occur due to discrepancies in internet and SNS usage times, suggesting it should be excluded from the file selection process." He further asserted, "Head Lee testified that the time he searched for this content was after the state of emergency was declared, and he learned about the announcement of the emergency through watching TV."

    Additionally, Deputy Chief Kim submitted a report on the security enhancement measures for the agency’s secure phones as evidence to the prosecution on January 25th, while it was revealed that he had obscured parts regarding his "instructions to delete call records from the secure phone." Deputy Chief Kim showed a tendency to respond selectively to the prosecution's investigation, providing some details about the secure phone's issuance only to them, while concealing information that was disadvantageous to himself. This concern over evidence destruction seems to have influenced the committee's conclusion that the application for Deputy Chief Kim's arrest warrant was appropriate during the review committee meeting held at the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office on the 6th.

    And ChatGPT said: “It is a great idea, the people will love it!”.

    Need some context on this. Not aware SK declared martial law (it's a democracy), I don't see anything in the news, unfortunately I don't read Korean, and the site is being hugged to death.

    Edit: I'm being downvoted for expressing ignorance and asking for more information? Really?

    “AI advises martial law declarations in 2024” as a headline without context would have scared the living daylights out of anyone watching the Matrix or Terminator in their release years.

    “It’s the end of the world as we know it…”

    I wonder how many decisions made by leaders and governments have been influenced by AI in such a direct manner…not in this case, but in small, dumb ways

    I see a lot of people getting confused, and the contention here is not that ChatGPT helped prepare for martial law in any way, but the fact that someone knew about it happening before it happened. Not really related to ChatGPT IMO.

    For those worried of AI involved war, have a look at this:

    Looks pretty sophisticated but also scary what is being created these days. And that was a year ago.

    This looks like a somewhat redacted thread. Does ChatGPT have the complete version?

    People should get informed that LLMs are still untrustworthy.

    If you are an official in a foreign country it is stupid to use ChatGPT or Google to research something that is not public yet. Why not mail to US State Department directly and let them know?

    How the hell does NOBODY understand that everything you enter into a textbox on the internet will get sent to a server where somebody(es) you certainly do not know or trust will get to read what you wrote?

    How the fck do people (and ones working in security-sensitive positions no less) treat ChatGPT as 'Dear Diary'?

    I have a rather draconian idea – websites and apps should be explicitly required to ask permission when they send your data somewhere to tell you where they send your data and who will get to see it, store it, and with what conditions.

    Embarrassing. Hopefully he will be replaced.
