Dear Open AI team,
I would like to provide important feedback regarding the use of ChatGPT, which I noticed during my usage.
It concerns the inconsistent treatment of religious figures and the associated discriminatory treatment of religious groups.
I noticed that ChatGPT offered jokes about Jesus without hesitation, but a clear boundary was drawn when it came to Mohammed. This was justified by the fact that Mohammed is a religious figure, and a respectful treatment of all religions should be ensured.
This should apply equally to Jesus, as both are central religious figures. Unequal treatment can be seen as a lack of respect and appreciation for a religious community, which in this case represents about one-third of the world’s population.
The potentially stronger, more outraged reactions from followers of Mohammed should not be used as an argument for the unjust treatment of both figures and, therefore, their respective religious groups.
It would not only be desirable but also very important that all religious figures and groups are treated equally. That also includes Buddah, all Hindi gods, YHWH…
I kindly ask that you take this feedback into account and improve your system accordingly.
Best regards!
