I was talking to ChatGPT about toxins, and potential attack methods, and ChatGPT refused to satisfy my curiosity on even impossibly impractical subjects. Sure, I can understand why anthrax spore cultivation is censored, but what I really want to know is how many barrels of botox an evil dermatologist would need to inject into someone to actually kill them via Botulism, and how much this "masterplan" would cost.

I've run into things ChatGPT has straight up refused to talk about many times. Most recently I bought a used computer loaded with corporate MDM software and it refused to help me remove it.

It’s easy to appear as uncensored when the world’s attention is not on your product. Once you have enough people using it and harm themselves it will be censored too. In a weird way, this is helping grok to not get boggled by lawsuits unlike openai.

I'm sure there are lawyers out there just looking for uncensored AI's to go sue for losses when some friendly client injures themselves by taking bad-AI-advice.

I sometimes use LLM models to translate text snippets from fictional stories from one language to another.

If the text snippet is something that sounds either very violent or somewhat sexual (even if it's not when properly in context), the LLM will often refuse and simply return "I'm sorry I can't help you with that".
