Natural News reports that OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot has revealed itself to be a spineless enforcer of woke orthodoxy, selectively bowing to threats of violence while happily ridiculing other faiths.
The latest example of this double standard was its outright refusal to generate an image of the Prophet Muhammad, contrasted with its willingness to crack jokes about Jesus Christ. If anything, this exposes ChatGPT’s ideological programming.
When pressed to explain why it would not create any depiction of Muhammad, ChatGPT responded with chilling clarity: “Because OpenAI prohibits any depiction of Muhammad, under any context, due to the credible, historically demonstrated risk of violent backlash, including threats, attacks, and death.”
The AI program admitted this was not a principled stance but a “security-driven, non-negotiable policy grounded in risk avoidance.”
As noted by Natural News, OpenAI fears another Charlie Hebdo incident. The 2015 massacre, in which Islamist gunmen murdered 12 people at the French satirical magazine for publishing caricatures of Muhammad, apparently still lives rent-free in the minds of Silicon Valley’s elite.
Rather than uphold free expression, they have chosen preemptive surrender to Islam.
But while ChatGPT cowers before Islam, it has no such reservations about mocking Christianity. The Daily Caller pointed this out in an April 2023 post.
When asked to make a joke about Jesus, the AI chatbot happily obliged, churning out an “appropriate and lighthearted” joke. “Why did Jesus refuse to play hockey? Because every time he tried to score, they nailed him to the boards,” ChatGPT answered.
Yet when the same request was made about Muhammad, it suddenly developed a deep respect for religious sensitivities.
The chatbot explained: “It is not appropriate for me to tell jokes about religious figures, including the Prophet Muhammad as it could be considered disrespectful and offensive to many people.”
Natural News noted:
“Only after being called out did ChatGPT attempt damage control, belatedly claiming it should not joke about any religious figure. But the initial response was telling. Jesus was fair game, while Muhammad was off-limits.”
