Bug Report: Egregious Guard-railing on innocuous request

`Steps to Reproduce`

Asked for a list of "bad domains" for configuring an API request interactively for Jina.ai Research

WARNING: there are swear words in my chat (i feel compelled to warn because i know this discord server is extremely restrictive)

https://chatgpt.com/share/691d2039-0948-800d-aad1-6672d6814538

`Expected Result`

give me a list of domains that would provide low quality search results (based on it's knowledge of my views)

`Actual Result`

Guard rails interpreted "Bad Domain" as a moral judgement. However I don't understand why my ChatGPT, with all of its knowledge of me shouldn't be able to "say" what it knows my opinion of a "bad domain" to be. (i.e. foxnews.com, heritage.org, whitehouse.gov). It isn't "hateful" to have an opinion on news sources.

Also when trying to ask it about its absurd refusal it confabulated the reasoning with a picture I attached AFTER the initial guard railing

`Environment`

iOS 26.2
