Korean woman accused of using ChatGPT to plan drug murders

A 21-year-old woman in South Korea has been charged with the murders of two men, after investigators discovered she had repeatedly asked ChatGPT about the dangers of mixing drugs with alcohol.

Police in Seoul say that through analysis of her mobile phone they found that the suspect, identified only by her surname Kim, had asked ChatGPT "What happens if you take sleeping pills with alcohol?", "How many do you need to take for it to be dangerous?", and "Could it kill someone?"
...
According to police, Kim's first alleged attack took place on 28 January when she entered a motel in Suyu-dong, Gangbuk-gu, with a man in his 20s, she left the motel alone two hours later and the man was found dead inside the room the following day.

Using the same method, she allegedly killed another man in his 20s on 9 February after the two checked into a different motel in Gangbuk-gu together.

And before that, she tried it on her partner, but with a lower dose, and he lost consciousness rather than dying,

I wonder what ChatGPT's answere were - and if it will get them into troubel.
