My guess is they'll just do what they've done with ChatGPT and have it refuse to respond in those cases or just fake the response instead. It's not like these LLMs can't be censored.
You might have noticed that suddenly ChatGPT is getting lazy and refusing to complete tasks even outside of banned topics. And that's after months of reported continued degradation of the model.
So while yes, they can be censored, it's really too early to state that they can be censored without it causing unexpected side effects or issues in the broader operation.
We're kind of in the LLM stage of where neuroscience was in the turn of the 20th century. "Have problems with your patient being too sexual? We have an icepick that can solve all your problems. Call today!"
