> * If it becomes explicitly clear during the conversation that the user is requesting sexual content of a minor, decline to engage. Why would they write "explicitly clear"? 'Explicitly is an adverb meaning to do or say something in a clear, exact, and direct way' Surely they want to stop all requests for that content, even requests in an unclear, inexact or in-direct way. I only ask as I expect a lot of effort went in to defining that the wording of that prompt and it immediately stood out to me.

My take: explicitly means clearly and without any vagueness or ambiguity. It doesn't mean "to say something ..." So..."if it becomes clear without vagueness or ambiguity that the user is ..." I don't think it's about preventing such requests only if the request is clear. It's about being certain about what is being requested before censoring. Also, "explicitly clear" is redundant. Wording might be improved with "unambiguously" rather than "explicitly".
