> Minutes after vandalizing 17 cars in a Missouri college parking lot, a 19-year-old sophomore had a [2]lengthy ChatGPT conversation during which he confessed to the crime , asked about the possibility of getting caught, and wondered, "is there any way they could know it was me," according to a police probable cause [3]statement . Ryan Schaefer was arrested yesterday and charged with felony property damage for a rampage early Sunday at a Missouri State University parking lot. Investigators allege that Schaefer shattered car windows, ripped off side mirrors, dented hoods, and broke windshield wipers during the 3 AM spree.

> When confronted with surveillance footage and other evidence, Schaefer said that he could see the resemblance between the suspect and himself. At that point, Schaefer reportedly consented to a search of his iPhone. A subsequent review of the device revealed location data placing Schaefer "at or near the scene of the crime," as well as a "troubling dialogue exchange this defendant seems to have had with artificial intelligence software installed on his phone," prosecutors reported.
