The message 'sorry that's beyond my scope' is not triggered by the LLM.

It's triggered by the post-generation censorship.

Same as a lot of other services. You can watch this in action - it'll spit out paragraphs until it mentions something naughty, and then boop! Gone.

Another explanation is that the LLM doesn't know it's discussing a prohibited topic until it reaches a certain point in the answer.
