AI overview

Ethan Mollick said he used GPT-6 Pro to revisit research on violent video games and crime, finding an international dip in violence associated with GTA V’s 2013 launch but more ambiguous results for other games. Mollick said the model downloaded fresh crime data and extended prior work examining whether people staying home to play violent video games reduces crime. His reported finding links GTA V’s launch with lower violence; it does not establish that the game caused the decline.
