That is something often claimed by heretics. My experience couldn't diverge more, however. All heretic (and abliterix) models I've tried are worse than the original. It's not immediately obvious if all you do is ask 2-3 questions and marvel at how it didn't refuse, but try using them for real over longer 8k+ contexts and it falls apart real fast.

They're more prone to getting stuck in loops, becoming unresponsive, and hallucinating more (presumably because of the reduced desire to not answer).

I've tried all the popular heretic peddlers, but if you have one that you can vouch for maybe I've simply missed it.
