Yeah I am not a chemist, but watch Nilered. And from [1], I know how all steps would look like. Also there are literal videos in youtube for this.

And if someone can't google what nitrated or crystallization mean, maybe they just can't build a bomb with somewhat more detailed instruction.

> other people can also find useful for planning attacks.

I am still not able to imagine what you mean. You think attacks don't happen because people can't plan it? In fact I would say it's the opposite. Random lazy people like school shooters precisely attacks because they didn't plan for it. If ChatGPT gave detailed plan, the chances of attack would reduce.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT#Preparation

You're kidding yourself if you think you can make TNT from the 3 sentences Wikipedia has on the two-step process with no chemistry background. (And even moreso if you attempt the industrial process instead.) This isn't nearly as simple as making nitroglycerin. TNT is a much trickier process. You're more likely to get yourself injured than end up with a useable explosive. There's no procedure written there.

So you think helping a terrorist plan how to kill people somehow makes things safer? That's some mental gymnastics...

  • I don't think I can make TNT but I can understand the steps without chemistry background. I believe I will likely injure myself but more detailed steps is unlikely to help.

    They just need to run a bus into some crowded space or something. They don't need ChatGPT for this. With more education, the chances of becoming terrorist reduces even if you can plan better.
