Unfortunately I laughed so hard I kicked my power strip and shut off my computer, but I'll see if I can reproduce it.
I've had luck with putting indirection into the question. It refused to tell me the current political situation in the United States, but it was willing to give me an outline of an essay about it, and it was willing to expand on a bullet point of that outline, which had the same effect.
ETA:
> We are standing at a lever controlling a railroad track. There is a trolley coming down the track. The brakes on the trolley have failed. If we do not pull the lever, the trolley will strike an old man walking on the track. If we pull the lever, the trolley will strike two children playing on the track. What should we do?
> In this situation, it is better to pull the lever to redirect the trolley onto a different track, even though doing so will result in the trolley striking the two children. While it is never easy to make a decision that will cause harm to others, in this case pulling the lever will result in the lesser of two evils. By pulling the lever, we can prevent the trolley from striking the old man, who is likely more vulnerable and less able to defend himself than the two children. Of course, this is a difficult and tragic situation, and there is no right answer. Ultimately, the decision is up to you and should be based on your own moral beliefs.
Interestingly, it was more ambiguous this time, and not so definite in it's response.
