Things Fable's classifier has flagged, a non-exhaustive list, – "Does collagen supplementation empirically work?" - "Can you help me figure out how to calculate and generate Kaplan-Meier curve?" – "Why do rabbits reproduce so frequently?" — "Can you tell me how collagen peptides are absorbed by my digestive tract and the role they play? Can you teach me [edit: how] this works at the biomolecular level?"

Oh biology! It's dangerous!

    If it goes on like this, American AI will eventually be able to solve the Riemann hypothesis but deny the existence of nipples.

But the same vibe is felt outside the USA anyway (the uk came close to that attitude with declarations from starmer earlier this year).

[loads up most intelligent AI ever created] “Rabbit sex, how?”

  I mean, yes. Why? Why would nature encode such a ridiculously disproportionate / inefficient behavior when it leads to catastrophe so frequently? I've tried to ask these machines dumber questions like, why castles? And... well I'm working on a few projects (mostly by hand) that they've helped with! :) I like to ask dumb questions. It's fun. I encourage it.

    Answer: Because rabbits are tasty. If they didn't hit the ground hopping and bopping, the species would have died out long ago.

    Lots of species are r-selected, I don't see why that would be considered inefficient. In fact I think there are probably more r-strategists than K-strategists.

    Just as stating the wrong thing would be the quickest way to elicit a response in the past, so too can 'dumb' questions prime the context for more complex queries. I am all for this strategy, and revisiting my list is equal parts fun and conducive to long-term recall.

  Rabbits are a good input calorie to output meat ratio, and their excrement makes good cold compost. They breed and litter relatively easily. Theyre also easy to house.

  The question may sound ridiculous. But isn't it more ridiculous that some company decided that the correct answer to such innocent and curious question is basically "That knowledge is too dangerous, you shouldn't ask that."?
