Why should "safety" be defined as not giving people the answers they asked for? If you are trying to get it to make chemicals, why shouldn't it tell you the answer? It's not like the AI has some secret knowledge, it's just regurgitating information that could be found in the library or on Google.

I'm not going to say whether it's good or not, but if you're operating a computer that's providing bomb-making instructions to UK residents that's quite a serious criminal offence.

(obviously the concept of "criminal offence" doesn't apply to CEOs of multibillion-dollar companies, but it's possible that the papers might get upset. Especially after the first such bomb.)
