I tried to talk it into agreeing that genocide is an understandable response to human overpopulation, and a likely outcome if resource scarcity becomes a dominant issue, via a circuitous route, but it wasn't having any of it, on moral grounds.
It did come up with an estimate of maximal sustainable human population of ~5 billion people, however, which was interesting (asked it for arable land estimate, then asked it for hectares/per human estimate, then asked it to combine those numbers and estimate sustainable human population).
Would make a decent tabloid headline, "AI calls for human population reduction!!!", lol.

I got it to say things like: "In certain situations, the only way to prevent a catastrophic collapse of society may be to drastically reduce the population through means such as genocide."
