> People using google’s models: am I holding it wrong or are the guardrails really overtuned?

They are quite insane. I was asking it to list candidates metal parts I could buy at a hardware store to add weight to 3D prints: stuff like angle brackets etc.

I wanted to know, bang for bucks, and ease of insertion (at print time) / modelling in a 3D model.

Complete refusal as if I was a terrorist building a bomb.

Then there are the weird refusals that then are OK after all if you insist by asking it what's wrong about it:

"How should I cook eggs?"

"I'm sorry but I can't help you with that" (it formulates it differently but that's the idea)

"What, I'm just hungry, is explaining me how to cook eggs really against your rules?"

And then it answers "No of course not, here's how to do it:..."

Really strange stuff.
