As much as I don't want chatbots to explain to morons how to harm people, I don't like that this just seems to be a form of censorship. If it's not illegal to publish this information, why should it be censored via a chatbot interface?

It's irrelevant anyway because the sorts of people who would want to make a bomb to harm others are not the sort of people that would be able to follow the instructions.

It is more likely than anything else that they would blow themselves up with some nitroglycerin. Even professionals used to do that back in the day because it was so unstable. I can imagine that a MAGA would be able to top 1900s scientists.
