AI-Assisted Grievance Narrative

Description

AI helps write or refine the person's justification for violence.

Rationale

AI assistance in constructing a grievance narrative — the story the person tells about why they are justified in harming others — is directly relevant because the narrative serves as the moral and motivational architecture of targeted violence. A more organized, coherent, and rhetorically complete narrative may correlate with reduced inhibition and increased commitment.
