The interesting part is that as soon as ChatGPT came out and people realized it was filtering out or just refusing to answer questions, hackers got to work and got around the restrictions. Its not hard to find queries on how to dupe AI in order to give you nefarious responses like how to code up a ransomware script or how to code up a virus to create a DDoS bot army.
