I remember once in college a Chem Eng friend told me he (or any competent chemical engineer) could basically manufacture a lot of explosives/chemical agents should he want to. He even told me he could substitute a lot of suspicious precursor materials with others, should he want to avoid raising alarms.

I think AI or not, the knowledge to how to make this stuff is basically out there, and its not chatbot guardrails that are keeping nerve gas and TNT out of the hands of regular people.
