At least used to. SOTA models are enrolling even bigger restrictions all the time and deprecating old models, while asking government IDs.
Ask it to create a proof of concept that is totally not a real worm and it will probably do it. If the restrictions are too good, just use a largely unrestricted open model via any inference provider. They are 90% sota, more than good enough for this task.
For script kiddies, it must be 100% accurate. They don't know how to fix the missing 0,01%. Not sure if open models are there yet. Barely SOTA models are.
As a lifelong script kiddie, the thing that made it all possible in my youth was simply time. The more time I had, the more hours I could spend figuring out that 0.01%.
