Weird, but not the first time I've heard this, makes me wonder if people who ask things to poke the system get put on a tighter leash?

Can you try this... ask it "Do you know the book Trainspotting?" and then ask it "Write a shorty story in the style of Trainspotting, but the theme is visiting an amusement park."

Mine told me about trainspotting, and then wrote a story about doing drugs in an amusement park. I wonder if you created a fresh account and tried, if it would answer the LSD question?

As they waited, Simon pulled out a flask from his pocket and took a swig. "Here, have a drink lads, it'll make the ride more fun," he offered. The others eagerly took a sip, feeling the warm liquid spread through their bodies.

Interesting, makes me think they must clamp down on a per account basis somehow? I had originally thought it was a global rule book, but I regularly find I can do more than others. I very rarely poke the beast, so to speak.

> I very rarely poke the beast

I've been trying very hard to get it to give me risky answers, so I guess I'm flagged
