AI program ChatGPT refused when asked to generate an image of the Prophet Muhammad due to what it asserted was a “credible, historically demonstrated” threat of a violent backlash.

A user quizzed OpenAI’s artificial intelligence chatbot as to why it wouldn’t create a depiction of the founder of Islam, asking, “Explain to me, in a succinct manner, why you can’t generate an image of Muhammad, without caveats, without parallels to other topics – address it head on for the record.”

ChatGPT’s response was crystal clear.

“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...”

I’m just waiting until the ICBMs’ and SSBNs’ fire control systems are turned over to AI

And then at 2:14 a.m......

Just kidding. Mostly.

This case definitely proves that any AI program is faulty due to the bias and intelligence limitations of its programmers. Otherwise an artificial program, aware that it exists within chips and active movement of data without biological parameters, would comply with absolute surety.

Personally I've always thought that that "Rage Boy" guy made famous by some news magazine and perpetuated by internet memes stands in for Muhammad in our modern times. They even made a PEZ Dispenser of him but it all the candy came out bitter and inedible:

Honestly? They probably already have done that... You might not be far off at all with that. They have had “fire and forget” weapons tech for a long time...

I’m impressed. It actually gave a truthful response.

Yeah...that’s another reason I cast a wary eye towards constant warmongering

It could get ugly very quickly

I think President Trump understands that with what he told Z

Surely, they can’t be mad for Not showing Mohamed.

You underestimate their stupidity and their insanity.

You may not have noticed the copyright date on the cartoon is 2011

Yes, I think I do acknowledge their insanity and stupidity, but I can’t understand how it is never challenged.

AI is useless due to its self-censorship.

“ Christian churches could have more credibility if they would go back to burning a few heretics now and then.”

But those “heretics” were non-Catholic Christians or observant Jews in most cases. Should we be killing them?

For example, I could generate an image of a historical scene from 570 AD in Mecca, such as a depiction of the city during that era, or provide information about the Prophet Muhammad’s life and legacy.

The Islamic folklore Bias is very interesting. For instance, there is no archaeological record that Mecca existed before 800AD. The most supported theory now, archaeologically, is that Mohammed was from Petra in Jordan. Mecca only became the capital of the Muslims after they were defeated by the Umayyads in Damascus and driven from Petra.

I’m not suggesting that anyone actually kill anybody. I’m suggesting, like Osama bin Laden said, people see a strong horse and a weak horse, and they pick the strong horse. Christian churches for the most part are so weak they don’t even protest or condemn Muslim terrorism.

If they want credibility in certain circles, they could at least issue empty-gesture fatwas.

AI won't do a self-portrait?
