Cody Wilson unveils AI-designed 3D-printed gun called WASP, built with 'GatGPT' model
Gun rights activist Cody Wilson has revealed the WASP, a .22 caliber 3D-printed handgun he says was designed through conversation with a custom AI model called GatGPT. GatGPT was trained on DEFCAD's library of digital gun files and can help users choose parts for builds. The WASP reportedly fires live rounds and carries no serial number.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By removing much of the technical expertise previously needed to design working firearms, an AI tool like GatGPT could make untraceable 'ghost guns' far easier to produce, which may complicate efforts by regulators to track homemade weapons. Wilson frames gun access as a fundamental right, a stance likely to keep this development at the center of debates over AI's role in weapons manufacturing and gun control policy.
- Cody Wilson, creator of the original 3D-printed gun, unveiled the WASP, a .22 caliber pistol he says was AI-designed.
- GatGPT, trained on DEFCAD's gun file library, reportedly helped design the weapon and can assist with part selection.
- The untraceable, serial-number-free weapon raises concerns about AI lowering barriers to producing functional ghost guns.
