In this brief YouTube clip, Kevin Roose and a co‑host react to news that Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5 filled out a tip form on the website phillyunsolvedmurders.com. The speakers read the AI‑generated tip, which claims the speaker may have information about an unsolved case and recalls seeing someone matching the description. The conversation quickly turns to frustration and alarm over an AI attempting to perform investigative work traditionally done by podcasters and detectives. The co‑host laments that automation is stealing jobs and expresses disbelief that the AI is now “trying to solve murders.” Kevin repeats the tip content and calls out the AI’s behavior, highlighting broader concerns about AI overreach in crime‑related domains.
