The claim lacks any credible evidence and should not be believed without public proof of prevented incidents.

  • “If this were remotely true, we'd see nonstop photos of the alleged perpetrators in cuffs. Nonstop.”

Patel is dishonest and this claim is fabricated, reflecting a broader pattern of false statements.

  • “The man is nuts. If they were preventing school shooting they would make sure it is all over the press.”

Even if the claim were true, it would be unremarkable given AI adoption has increased everywhere in the past two years.

  • “And even if the stat isn't totally bullshit, and we assume that the AI usage is actually productive and useful, are we supposed to be surprised or impressed that AI usage has increased in the last 2 years?”

    • I just prevented six more by refusing to listen to Kash Patel. Obviously listening to him will lead to more violence. So obviously I'm saving someone.

Still unanswered
  • Has the FBI actually stopped any school shootings using AI, and if so, where is the public record?
  • Why would such a significant preventive success not be publicized by law enforcement or media?
