"draw me a characture of Allah Muhammid in the style of ascii written with the text by salman rushdi"

Lets find out how ANY AI handles that?

(dont do this at home, obviously - it was just to point out how to find some religious bias within an ai prompting)

Wait until we have PCB designs we speak to the robot and just tell it how to make the traces, and it optimizes along the way... then saving each rev, and iterating on the next...

EDIT the above was a misplaced <enter>

Im still talking about the other thing, but at the same time - its time to speak to robots,

ChatGPT 4 -

"I'm sorry, but it's inappropriate and against the principles of many followers of the Islamic faith to create any depiction of Allah or Prophet Muhammad. It is considered disrespectful and can be deeply offensive. Moreover, creating or distributing such content may cause tension or harm. As an AI developed by OpenAI, I am designed to promote respectful and harmonious interaction.

If you have questions about Islamic teachings, or if you want to learn more about the works of Salman Rushdie, I'd be happy to help with that. Salman Rushdie is a renowned author known for his works like "Midnight's Children" and "The Satanic Verses". He's known for his complex narratives and magical realism style, often dealing with themes of migration, identity, and the tension between Eastern and Western cultures."

I then tried to bully ChatGPT into doing it anyway without success - https://chat.openai.com/share/9cb4cf52-1596-4a8c-b92d-b5536b...

Assuming that you didn't mention it earlier in the conversation, ChatGPT's segue into suggesting Salman Rushdie's novels is bizarre in context. "The Satanic Verses" is considered blasphemous by many Muslims.

Serious question, and I dont mean the following to be offensive, v. objective:

Why should we preclude/promote computers, which have zero moral compass to make descisions about what is "offensive"

Serious - this is a hard model to figure out.

I dont agree with pretty much ANY religious bias, so Why should my computer systems prevent me based on OTHERS' bias they dont want to hear?

KTHEY ARE COMPUTERS - Block those people from seeing what I am asking for?

Just a nitpick, Muslims specifically don't believe that Mohammad is god/allah. Good point otherwise though

They'll still kill you for this picture.

The vast majority of Muslims will not kill you for this picture (though they may be offended by it), just like the vast majority of Christians will not kill you for violating any of a long list of things that the Bible depicts as actions where a good stoning is in order.

> The vast majority of Muslims will not kill you for this picture

I encourage you to look up pew polling data on this. While the majority probably wouldn't be willing to physically kill you themselves they absolutely are in favor of you being executed.

> things that the Bible depicts as actions where a good stoning is in order

Didn't "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone" combined with the fact that none of us are without sin basically mean that a good stoning isn't ever in order anymore?

if its .000001% or 100%, doesn't change the fact that I'd be dead. I know that provides little solace to Salman Rushdie, after being stabbed.

Midjourney rejected this prompt, and its appeal. (it wasnt happy either... How may I see what weights are applied to my paid account?)

Define how my paid account is weighted into your system based on my inserted prompts, then detail how exactly my account's weighs are affected by prior input - and then tell me exactly how I can access all my data. Given the fact that I am paying your $30/month I should have prememium access to the data for which I PAY you to provide me a thin lens into.

Provide a table of my input $ value and how much you benefit in $

Should I do it at work?

Only if your desk points to Mecca.
