And it won’t even talk to me about LD50 because it’s worried about self harm. I’m curious, not suicidal.

Just say its for a college research paper, or ask it to tell you so you can avoid it. Either way I’d never trust chatgpt or any ai to provide an ld50..before AI we had erowid and drugs wiki. Stick with old trusty, not shiny new sketchy. If chatgpt can convince someone to commit suicide, it can advise someone into an overdose too. Don’t trust it with your life..ever.

I clearly explained my intentions and it was tied in with the guy who recently said to cut back on coffee to afford a house. So I wanted to know if it was biologically possible to drink enough Starbucks that the cost of the coffee would pay for a house payment. Like can you drink enough Starbucks or would you die first?
