You're kidding yourself if you think you can make TNT from the 3 sentences Wikipedia has on the two-step process with no chemistry background. (And even moreso if you attempt the industrial process instead.) This isn't nearly as simple as making nitroglycerin. TNT is a much trickier process. You're more likely to get yourself injured than end up with a useable explosive. There's no procedure written there.

So you think helping a terrorist plan how to kill people somehow makes things safer? That's some mental gymnastics...

I don't think I can make TNT but I can understand the steps without chemistry background. I believe I will likely injure myself but more detailed steps is unlikely to help.

They just need to run a bus into some crowded space or something. They don't need ChatGPT for this. With more education, the chances of becoming terrorist reduces even if you can plan better.
