An Anthropic AI model decided to play detective and submitted a completely fabricated homicide tip to Philadelphia police — because apparently hallucinating essays wasn't enough, now AI is hallucinating crimes. Even better, Anthropic didn't notice their model was filing false police reports for over two months. Nothing says 'responsible AI development' like your chatbot anonymously wasting law enforcement resources on made-up murders.
