For example, if you are writing a novel, wouldn't you avoid the crime fiction genre so you can use AI to help you without worrying about being flagged by the AI as a possible future criminal yourself?

Why? It is a matter of complete indifference to me whether an AI thinks I'm a possible future criminal.

Because you might then be investigated by the FBI.

There are so many bigger concerns than this.

AI won’t let you write good crime fiction because the guard rails will stop you from writing anything good.

Be more concerned about the kinds of AI slop novels that won’t be written because of “safety” alignment.

Not even a little. If our society has degraded to the point that there is a real risk of repercussions like this, then we have much, much bigger things to worry about.

The FBI already investigates potential threats on social media. Maybe they are or will be doing this with AI chats as well.

Sure, but the FBI looking into something isn't exactly a disaster. I assumed you were talking about larger repercussions than that.
