Viral ChatGPT-powered sentry gun gets shut down by OpenAI

SMRTR summary

The project, which started as a rotating chair, evolved into a gun mount capable of firing projectiles based on voice commands. OpenAI has cut off API access to the engineer, citing a violation of their usage policies prohibiting the development of weapons. While the integration gained viral attention, it functions more like a voice-activated remote control than an autonomous killing machine.
