@eicker People are idiots. It's become rather commonplace for "how to hide a body" to be in the search history of the killer shortly after a person goes missing (and is later found dead).
IIRC, Nina Reiser's killer was caught doing something like that, and the links he followed told investigators what to look for (lye) in the carpet in the family vehicle.
If you _have_ to use an LLM*, at least use one that runs locally.
*: Please don't it is making you dumber.

Well, imagine you’ve done something and have to hide it.
If it’s spontaneous and you haven’t prepared, it will seem natural to expect that your search history might not be checked if nobody will suspect you personally.
And you need some way to avoid said suspicion.
People are not idiots, people just don’t understand how transparent today’s world really is. (Most likely this would be a surprise even for you.)
And also murderers specifically might be of the “emotionally unbalanced ASPD” kind of people.
