Somebody's AI Can't Imagine Jesus

But the same AI will imagine Molech to whom some 20,00 plus
children were sacrificed annually in what is now Palestine.

If you've tried the picture-making AI of a certain social media site, try this. Ask for a picture of Jesus or Christ and see what it says. "Can't do it!" Then ask for Buddha, Confucius, or Zeus or Aphrodite or "the Egyptian God Ra" or Baphomet the Goat God. To be fair they won't do Satan or Lucifer either, but try Baal or Molech or Dagon and the AI will give you all three of the pagan gods of that region of the world we now call Palestine. Ask it to imagine Quetzalcoatl blood-thirsty creator god of the Aztecs or Viracocha creator god of the Incas. They are all there if you want them.


You have to wonder what went into the algorithm that prevents the primary deity of the Christian church while allowing gods from dozens of pagan religions. They won't draw Mohammed either, but even an AI probably has enough self-preservation code written into it that it doesn't want to be blown up for drawing a picture.

And in an interesting facet of the algorithm, it won't do the god of socialism, Karl Marx for some reason. Guess it's not afraid of leftists either. Won't do Trump or Ronald Reagan either.

Hmmmm. I find the AI picture-making utility handy for illustrating my blogs, just so I don't want a picture of the guy who told the world to "treat others the way you want to be treated." Ironic that the religious figure who never burned children alive, gutted virgins or made them serve as temple prostitutes, cannot be imaged.
