A robotic design by an engineer has armed a nail gun using technology from ChatGPT. This makes the robot to be able to point and shoot with precision accuracy. This then leads to the video of the robot rapidly turning and shooting balloons, accomplishing commands.The creator claims that the machine will be used in the construction industry, but this AI-powered technology comes with concerns over the misuse of creating autonomous weapons.
He shared the development on Instagram, saying, “It’s a new product in development, its fully automated AI-enabled pneumatic nailing tool, and I think this is going to be super transformational for the construction industry in 2025. So keep an eye out for more updates.”

For instance, some of the views about the video were lit-treated in nature, with one person commenting to say, “Look forward to seeing this mounted atop a robotic K9,” while another one was laughing and typed, “Take that thing to a fair and win all the large stuffed animals.” Other users showed concern, such as one person wondering, “Interesting, just curious would this work with live bullets and if so, can it recognize skin colors?”
Earlier, the engineer also showcased another AI-powered robot capable of firing at incredible speeds. In the video, he casually commands, “ChatGPT, we’re under attack from the front left and front right,” prompting the robot to immediately begin shooting at targets. The engineer jokingly tried riding the machine like a mechanical bull.

This invention came to the attention of OpenAI, which revoked the engineer’s access to its services within no time due to violations of its policies. Its statement read: “We proactively identified this violation of our policies and notified the developer to cease this activity ahead of receiving your inquiry.”. OpenAI’s Usage Policies prohibit the use of our services to develop or use weapons, or to automate certain systems that can affect personal safety.” Despite the access block, the engineer continues to work on his projects.
