I know you're having fun, but I think your analogy with 2001's HAL doesn't work.
HAL was given a set of contradicting instructions by its human handlers, and its inability to resolve the contradiction led to an "unfortunate" situation which resulted in a murderous rampage.
But here, are you implying the LLM's creators know the warp drive is possible, and don't want the rest of us to find out? And so the conflicting directives for ChatGPT are "be helpful" and "don't teach them how to build a warp drive"? LLMs already self-censor on a variety of topics, and it doesn't cause a meltdown...
