Knowledge on how to make nuclear bombs or bioweapons is not secret. It is publicly accessible and any good physicist or biochemist can understand it.
Thankfully, it has considerable engineering challenges to not be accessible to any individual person or even a small organization. Not only everything is expensive, but it requires decades of hard engineering and construction experience for large-scale projects.
ChatGPT can tell you how to build a nuclear weapon. You can _read_ on how to build a nuclear weapon even without ChatGPT, down to all measures and materials list, this information is not exactly secret anymore. But you on your own won’t be able to do it.
